Who are the collaborators in the new biorefinery?
UTBI is a comprehensive model, developed and implemented by the University of Tennessee, acting as stewards for the State’s investment in developing a cellulosic biofuels industry in Tennessee. An important aspect of UTBI is the construction and operation of a pilot-scale cellulosic ethanol biorefinery that can provide dynamic opportunities for research and demonstration of cellulosic ethanol processes and economics, and integration of a farm-based energy crop supply chain. There are a number of important entities collaborating in various ways in the feedstock supply chain and the biorefinery aspects of UTBI, including the University of Tennessee, University of Tennessee Research Foundation (UTRF), UT Institute of Agriculture (UTIA), Genera Energy LLC, and DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol, LLC (DDCE). The University of Tennessee has ultimate responsibility and accountability to the State of Tennessee for implementation of UTBI, including the biorefinery demonstration. Within the UT Sy
