The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) awarded a $649,556 project grant to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, to develop processes for converting lignin, a byproduct of lignocellulosic biofuel production, into value-added chemicals. The goal is to engineer a specific microorganism to produce high-value chemicals, such as monomers for nylon 6,6 production, from aromatic compounds...
This Project Grant award of $150,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of California, Merced to develop robotic systems for autonomous removal of hazardous woody fuel from forests. The research aims to design and optimize novel robotic end effectors and control algorithms to perform robotic limbing - the removal of lower tree branches - in order to mitigate wildfire risk and protect communities located near forests....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $198,114 supports collaborative research at Michigan State University to develop a low-energy tandem process for fractionating and reversibly preserving lignocellulose using multifunctional aldehyde sulfonic acids. The research will test the hypothesis that aldehyde sulfonic acids can more effectively and selectively fractionate lignocellulose than current mineral/organic acid and aldehyde combinations under mild conditions. It aims to maximize...
