Bioenergy & Bioproducts Engineering
Bioenergy & Bioproducts (BBE) scientists work toward advancing science and technologies to convert biomass, including wastes, into useful products, fuels, and fuel additives. Highlights of our research program include:
- Production lipid from lignocellulosics for upgrading into renewable jet fuels, diesel, and gasoline
- Integrated algal fuel production including culture processes and extractions of co-products and lipids
- Anaerobic digestion technologies for producing biogas, co-products, and nutrient recovery
- Multiscale modeling of biorefining processes and systems
- Devise feasible process to deconstruct cellulosic biomass
- Identify pathways to convert lignin to jet fuel
- Biomass thermochemical conversions for producing advanced biofuels, chemicals, and bioproducts

Our world’s dependency on fossil fuels is one of the biggest challenges facing society today. The planet’s fossil fuel reserves are declining and the side effects of extracting and using these fuels are damaging our environment. Thus, a top priority amongst researchers is finding a cleaner, sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. At Washington State University, one researcher is taking a unique approach to this global challenge.
