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

BSE Faculty Bin Yang Receives Fulbright Distinguished Chair Award
January 7, 2019 | WSU Insider
By Maegan Murray, WSU Tri‑Cities
Bin Yang, an associate professor of biological systems engineering at Washington State University Tri‑Cities, has been selected for the Fulbright Distinguished Chair Award — the most prestigious appointment in the Fulbright Scholar Program.Fulbright currently awards approximately 8,000 grants annually. Of those, 40 are selected for the Fulbright Distinguished Chair Award. Yang marks the first professor in WSU history to be selected for the Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Energy and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources Award.
