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
