JBEI and Berkeley researchers find ways to make bioenergy crops more sustainable and profitable

June 21, 2020 | Helena Tavares Kennedy

In California, three new projects by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Joint BioEnergy Institute, could make agriculture both more sustainable and more profitable by aiming to quantify and reduce the carbon intensity of agriculture, including the farming of biofuel feedstocks such as corn, soy, and sorghum, while also increasing yield. Crop-based biofuels […]

The Competitive Edge: Marine BioEnergy, Inc.

April 23, 2020 | Jim Lane

Q: What was the reason for founding your organization – what was the open niche you saw that could be addressed with a new product or service? What was the problem, or gap, or opportunity? The U.S needs a billion tons of biomass per year, both predictable and affordable. While corn and other land crops […]
