TITLE: The Join BioEnergy Institute

SPEAKER: Paul D. Adams, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

ABSTRACT: The Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Research Center that is addressing roadblocks in biofuels production from lignocellulosic material. JBEI draws on the expertise and capabilities of three national laboratories (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)), two leading U.S. universities (University of California campuses at Berkeley (UCB) and Davis (UCD)), and a foundation (Carnegie Institute for Science, Stanford) to develop the scientific and technological base needed to convert the energy stored in lignocellulose into transportation fuels and commodity chemicals. The use of crystallographic and other biophysical characterization methods in biofuels research will be described.
