We develop processes to convert “low value” biomass processing and natural resource processing by-products (such as fish processing waste, forestry residues, mine tailings, and agricultural residues) to higher-value products such as biofuels, biomaterials (e.g. carbon capture and storage adsorbents), platform chemicals, nutritional supplements, and animal/fish feed. Our lab has the capacity to characterize the residues to better identify potential applications and determine the efficiencies and effectiveness of developed processes.
