Biofuels
This category builds upon UC Davis’s current work within the California Biomass Collaborative and the considerable agricultural and biological expertise of the university. The biofuels track includes analysis of various biorefinery production systems, infrastructure strategies, environmental & land-use impacts, & vehicle analysis. Policy and business strategies related to the production and distribution of biofuels are also evaluated.
