Fuels and Chemicals From Alternative Resources
In order to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, we must develop energy-efficient, economically-viable alternatives
based on our US resources (coal, oil shale and renewable carbon feedstocks).
Our agriculture and forest resources represent domestic sources of biorenewables that can be used in
the production of greenhouse-gas neutral polymers,
fine chemicals, and clean fuels. Our goal is to develop catalytic processes for efficient conversion of
all biomass components into fuel and value-added chemicals.
