The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Clean Fuels & Products Shot™ Summit Questions & Answers (Q&A) are now available. Stakeholders across government, industry, academia, and non-profit organizations attended the two-day virtual event to learn about the Shot’s objectives, progress, priorities, and future plans. 

DOE has prepared a Q&A document in response to questions received from Summit participants. Topics include: 

• Funding
• Data and Measurement
• Agriculture
• Algae
• Biomass
• Carbon Capture and Removal
• Hydrogen
• Waste-to-Energy and Upcycling
• Sustainable Aviation Fuel
• Water
• Public Engagement

Launched on May 24, 2023, the Clean Fuels & Products Shot is the seventh of DOE’s eight Energy Earthshots™ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 85% (compared to fossil fuel sources) by 2035. Additionally, the Clean Fuels & Products Shot aims to meet 100% of the 2050 projected demand for aviation fuel; 50% of maritime, rail, and off-road fuel; and 50% of carbon-based chemicals by using sustainable carbon resources. The Shot supports the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge and the Biden-Harris administration goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. 

Summit presentations, recordings, and transcripts are also available. View the Summit Day 1 and Day 2 presentation slides and video recordings.
