Summary
The Biomass Surface Characterization Laboratory (BSCL) is a new $2.85 million faculty dedicated to examining biomass energy production at the molecular level. The lab is intended to help scientists do the research work necessary to engineer large-scale biomass energy products, which would allow us to produce energy from waste and other renewable sources.
