Objective
Fossil fuel resources supply almost 90 percent of the world’s energy and the vast majority of its organic chemicals. This dependency is insupportable in light of rising emissions demand and diminishing access. Abundant renewable biomass is an emerging alternative. But if biomass is to supplant oil coal and gas as an energy and chemical resource it must match the wide array of products derived from those traditional sources.
-
SectorsObjective
Advanced bio-hydrocarbons are second generation biofuels and are derived from lignocellulosic biomass such as trees, grasses, waste, agricultural or forest residues, or algae. These fuels are not produced using the agricultural commodities like corn, sugarcane, soybean, etc.
