Bringing the best and the brightest together.
The mission of the Department of Energy BioEnergy Science Center is to revolutionize how Bioenergy is processed within five years. To reach thisi goal, we have assembled a world-class team of some of the world’s leading experts and facilities. We are working together to develop alternative fuel solutions that are a viable and affordable option to petroleum-based fuels.
To accomplish this mission, The BioEnergy Science Center is backed by more than $80 million in investments from state and private-sector sources. This includes $30 million toward research and equipment and a $40 million, 250,000 gallons-a-year switchgrass-to-ethanol demonstration facility.
