Scholarship Description: Production of renewable biofuels has been identified as a United States national priority and lignocellulosic biomass such as forest resources has been clearly identified as a preferred renewable feedstock. This fast-growing biofuels industry requires a new generation of scientists and engineers who have a comprehensive perspective on biofuels science and engineering and also appreciate the chemical, biological, economic, and environmental impacts of their technology decisions. However, understanding the entire aspects of biofuels production is challenging due to the multidisciplinary nature of the process. The objective of this project is to develop an education program for future leaders who will understand the entire spectrum of biofuels science and engineering to meet the future national needs.
