Save the Date for AFFO's 2027 Peer Review Meeting

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office (AFFO) will hold its 2027 Peer Review Meeting (PRM) the week of April 19, 2027.

The PRM will evaluate office-funded projects for their contributions to DOE's goals and provide an opportunity for National Lab experts, industry stakeholders, and DOE staff to exchange ideas on cutting-edge technologies to advance key priorities in the production and use of domestic feedstocks, fuels, and chemicals.

The 2027 PRM will be the first such meeting to review AFFO-funded projects since the DOE reorganization earlier this year, which established the Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI). That reorganization also established AFFO, within CMEI, bringing together existing portfolios of research, development, and demonstration in hydrogen and bioenergy technologies. This united portfolio aims to mobilize America's abundant potential for biomass and hydrogen, and provide additional fuels, chemicals, and materials that will enable affordable and reliable energy choices for businesses and consumers.

The event will be hosted in Arlington, Virginia. Additional details and registration information will be posted on the 2027 AFFO PRM webpage.
