BIOCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF BIOFUELS FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS

Objective

Objective 1. Develop technologies that enable the commercial production of marketable lipid-based advanced biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass hydrolyzates. Objective 2. In collaboration with industrial biorefiners, develop technologies that enable widespread commercial production of cellulosic ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. Objective 3. Develop technologies that serve as co-products for lignocelluloses based refineries and as antibiotic alternatives for use in agriculture and animal production.
