3. 3 Why Is the U.S. Department of Energy Buying Biobased Products? Be an early adopter of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act Section 9002 Support DOE mission of energy security By substituting domestically produced biobased products for those produced from petroleum By co-producing valuable biobased products along with biobased fuel to make biorefineries economical Focus is on biobased products that displace petroleum.
