The University of Wisconsin-Madison and ExxonMobil have agreed to continue their research into converting biomass into transportation fuels. The partnership is an effort to identify scalable and commercially viable solutions to meet global energy demands with renewable resources. Combining the expertise of UW-Madison and the technological capabilities of ExxonMobil, the intermediate goal is to reduce the number of processing steps to then convert whole biomass into fuel-sized molecules in a single reactor.
“The renewal of our agreement with the University of Wisconsin-Madison will continue ExxonMobil’s work with top universities and scientists to discover and advance next-generation energy solutions. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the university as we enhance our scientific understanding of advanced biofuels and explore potential new technologies,” says Vijay Swarup, VP R&D, ExxonMobil Research & Engineering Company.
