Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework (KDF) is an online platform developed by the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) to provide access to a wide array of bioenergy-related data, tools, and resources. It supports researchers, policymakers, industry, and the public by centralizing information, enabling data analysis, and fostering collaboration to advance bioenergy technologies.[2]

Goals

  • Enhance access to bioenergy data for research and analysis.[3]
  • Promote collaboration across different sectors in the bioenergy field.
  • Support informed decision-making with data-driven insights.

Organization

The Bioenergy KDF is managed by the Bioenergy Technologies Office within the U.S. Department of Energy. It's developed and maintained by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) with contributions from various DOE labs and partners. Funding for KDF comes from DOE's budget for bioenergy research, part of BETO's broader efforts in technology development.

The leader of the program might hold the title/position of **Project Lead for Bioenergy KDF** or similar.

Partners

  • No specific partnerships are listed, but KDF involves collaboration with multiple DOE national labs and external stakeholders.

History

The Bioenergy KDF was launched in 2010 to address the need for a comprehensive, accessible repository for bioenergy data and tools. It has since evolved to include a wide range of functionalities, from data visualization to geospatial analysis tools. Key historical developments include the integration of the Billion-Ton Report data series and the expansion of its user base to include industry, academia, and government. It was created as part of DOE's commitment to support sustainable bioenergy development.

Funding

Specific funding details are not publicly detailed, but the development and maintenance of KDF are supported by DOE's allocations for bioenergy research through BETO's budget. This funding supports server maintenance, data curation, and tool development.

Implementation

Implementation includes:

  • Continuous updating and curation of bioenergy data and resources.
  • Development of analytical tools and visualization capabilities.
  • User support, training, and outreach to enhance platform use.

The KDF is intended to operate indefinitely, serving as a long-term resource for the bioenergy community.
