Bin Yang, Ph.D
Professor
Research and Teaching Interests
Dr. Bin Yang works in the BSysE Bioenergy and Bioproducts Engineering research emphasis area at the Bioproducts, Sciences & Engineering Laboratory, Washington State University, Tri-Cities.
Dr. Yang has dedicated most of his career to the development of renewable energy technologies with particular emphasis on production of biofuels and chemicals from cellulosic biomass feedstocks and other sustainable resources. His current research interests lie in areas of pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and novel pathways that accelerate commercial application of biomass processing to cellulosic and lignin fuels and chemicals.

Sustainable Jet Fuel Based on Lignin
August 2022 | STLE
Lignin-derived jet fuel displays a superior heat of combustion, higher seal swell properties and a much lower aromatic content compared to Jet-A.Bin Yang, professor in the Biological Systems Engineering Department at Washington State University (WSU) in Richland, WA, says, “Besides using jet fuel, other propulsion options such as batteries and fuel cells are not suitable for use in long-distance airplance travel in the near future (less than 30 years). This places the aviation industry in the position of needing to find a sustainable alternative to Jet-A. … » More …
