The U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge Program (BRIDGES) creates partnerships with high schools, community/technical colleges, and universities to utilize and develop educational case studies aligned to the needs of the bioenergy industry workforce. This is a case study for the program.
Students will assume the role of an intern investigating the biomass-to-bioenergy value chain from harvest to conversion. Students will be challenged to research which regional feedstock is best suited for producing the highest quality fuel for the lowest cost and the best location for a biorefinery to help offset production costs and its carbon footprint.
