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

This meeting will evaluate AFFO-funded projects for their impact on advancing DOE’s goals for domestic feedstocks, fuels, and chemicals. It also aims to encourage collaboration among National Lab experts, industry stakeholders, and DOE staff on advanced technologies.

The 2027 PRM is the first since DOE’s reorganization earlier this year, which established the Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI). AFFO was formed within CMEI by consolidating portfolios in hydrogen and bioenergy technologies.

The AFFO portfolio focuses on harnessing U.S. biomass and hydrogen to create affordable and reliable energy alternatives for businesses and consumers.

Further event details and registration will be available soon on the 2027 AFFO PRM webpage.
