One of the major challenges the world faces is how to provide sustainable sources of energy that meet societal needs as the population continues to grow. The Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI), with funding from the Department of Energy, will develop efficient ways to grow bioenergy crops, transform biomass into valuable chemicals, and market the resulting biofuels and other bioproducts.
CABBI researchers demonstrated that a new method of pretreating harvested biofuel crops resulted in higher yields of valuable materials, while requiring much lower energy and chemical inputs. […]
