** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** A MAJOR CHALLENGE IN ADVANCING THE BSF INDUSTRY IS TO PROVIDE HIGH-VALUE AND UNIQUE APPLICATIONS OF BSF PRODUCTS BEYOND SUBSTITUTION FOR SOYBEAN AND FISHMEAL. THERE ARE A FEW PROMISING USES OF THE BSF PRODUCTS WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FROM OUR TECHNICAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE BASE, ALBEIT VERY LIMITED INFORMATION IN THE LITERATURE. WE WILL ADDRESS SEVERAL AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE GAP THAT WILL LEAD TO THE PRODUCTION OF SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL (SAF) AND BIOBASED FERTILIZER AND SOIL ENHANCERS. WE EXPECT TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY AND PROVIDE THE BSF INDUSTRY A FEW OPPORTUNITIES TO CAPTURE THE VALUES THAT CAN DRIVE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF EVEN LARGER AND MORE ADVANCED WASTE UPCYCLING SYSTEMS.
