Iowa State University of Science and Technology received a $1.0 million project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The award, effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2029, supports the development and demonstration of an integrated biorefinery platform designed to advance a circular, bio-based economy. The project will develop technology to convert lignocellulosic biomass using a biosafe, recyclable solvent to co-produce biobased chemicals and a biodegradable barrier coating intended to replace per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) coatings currently used in food packaging applications. In addition to research and development deliverables, the project includes comprehensive outreach and education activities to facilitate technology transfer, commercialization, and workforce development in the bioeconomy sector. The initiative involves industry partnerships to overcome critical bottlenecks in biorefinery intensification and will enhance consumer understanding of sustainability while building the skilled workforce necessary to support growth in the bio-based manufacturing sector. Work will be performed at Iowa State University's facilities in Ames, Iowa.Federal Grant Award Summary
