With up to $1.8 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, GLBRC scientists will conduct research with the potential to turn woody biomass into an economical source of renewable chemicals.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has selected the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) for an additional five years of funding to develop sustainable alternatives to transportation fuels and products currently derived from petroleum.

With the publication of its 1,000th scientific paper, GLBRC continues to take a leading role in conducting the research that will bring advanced biofuels to the marketplace.

GLBRC researchers are reporting a surprising new revelation about their Zip-Lignin™ technology. As John Ralph puts it, “Nature was already doing what we thought we’d laboriously taught her to do.”
