Bioenergy Research
NREL's bioenergy science and technology group performs a full range of research from exploring biomass at the molecular level through biorefinery process optimization to bring biofuels and bio-products to market.
Analysis & Characterization
Our analysts take a field-to-finished product approach to bringing biofuels and bioproducts to market.
Biochemical Processes
We optimize biochemical processes throughout the entire biochemical conversion pathway.
Bioenergetics
We work at the molecular and cellular level to understand and optimize microbial production of biofuels and bioproducts.
Thermochemical Processes
We develop gasification and pyrolysis processes for the cost effective thermochemical conversion of biomass to biofuels and biofuel intermediaries.
