Joint BioEnergy Institute

The goal is to use these bio-based chemicals to help finance the change in infrastructure from petroleum fuels to biofuels.

[1] JBEI functions as an incubator for scientific discovery bringing together the best and brightest researchers from around the country and the globe.

Inside JBEI's Emeryville laboratories, five interlocking scientific divisions–Life-cycle, Economics and Agronomy; Feedstocks; Deconstruction; Biofuels and Bioproducts; and Technology–bring the sunlight-to-biofuels/bioproducts pipeline under one roof.

Here, an inter-disciplinary team of some 160-plus scientists, post doctoral researchers and graduate students combine their expertise and collaborate to develop genetic, biological, computational and robotic technologies to accelerate the process of discovery.
