Bioindustrial Scale-Up for Supply Chains and Energy Resiliency Act of 2026
This bill establishes a federal program to create at least two bioindustrial technology maturation facilities by 2030, which will serve as shared research and testing centers for developing biotechnology products that enhance energy security. These facilities will provide precommercial-scale testing, pilot production, and workforce training for companies and researchers working with biological systems to manufacture materials and products, with locations chosen to support diverse regional needs and supply chains. The legislation defines key terms related to biomanufacturing and waste streams, mandates collaboration with industry and academic partners, and authorizes $225.5 million in funding from 2026 through 2030 to support these efforts.
