Our collaborators include:
The University of Tennessee Biofuels Initiative (UTBI) is a state sponsored plan to decrease our dependency on foreign oil while simultaneously increasing rural economic development and domestic energy production within Tennessee.
The UTBI proposes to jump-start a new bioenergy industry in the state by building and operating a demonstration scale cellulosic ethanol biorefinery in East Tennessee. The principal product of the refinery will be Grassoline, ethanol fuel that is derived from plant material such as switchgrass, wood chips and other forest and agricultural biomass.
Genera Energy was formed in 2008 by the University of Tennessee Research Foundation to implement the business operations of the University of Tennessee Biofuels Initiative.
