A major part of the GLBRC mission is dedicated to achieving technology transfer and large-scale commercialization of cost-effective biofuels technologies, as well as bringing technological advances to the marketplace and recruiting the industrial community to participate in relevant research programs.

In order to fulfill these goals, GLBRC researchers partner with industry to collaborate on relevant bioenergy-related research initiatives, and to transition our basic research to the industrial scale.
