From Bio-concept to Bioproduct

Designed. Developed. Scaled.

The Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit, part of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was established by the United States Department of Energy to help ramp up the bioeconomy.

We enable early stage advanced biofuels, biomaterials, and biochemicals product and process technologies to successfully scale from the lab to commercial relevance.

With experienced know-how, rigorous process optimization, and relentless monitoring of yield versus cost, we partner with you to lower your capex, opex, and risk.
