The '''Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium''' (FCIC) is a Department of Energy initiative launched in 2016 under the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) to tackle feedstock variability challenges in biorefineries, uniting nine national laboratories—including Idaho National Laboratory (INL), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)—with industry advisors. It employs tools like MFiX for multiphase flow modeling and has produced over 40 studies, culminating in the 2025 Capstone Report, which quantifies variability’s impact on conversion economics and reliability.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/feedstock-conversion-interface-consortium |title=FCIC Overview |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> With the FY25 Industry Partnership Call announced in January 2025, FCIC continues to bridge lab research and commercial deployment, supporting DOE’s sustainable aviation fuel and decarbonization goals.
