Scientists at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) and three partner U.S. Department of Energy research centers recently achieved an important milestone by registering more than 1,000 inventions in their shared mission to support a vibrant domestic bioeconomy.
Tasked with fundamental research into the workings of microbes, plants, and agricultural processes, scientists with GLBRC provide knowledge for industry to produce jet and other hydrocarbon fuels, plastics, and other essential products from inedible plants including grasses and trees that can be grown on land unsuitable for food production.
Established in 2007 by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the center is based at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in collaboration with Michigan State University and other partner universities.
