To accomplish our mission in a university research environment, the GLBRC will:

• Apply cutting-edge research to help create a new generation of sustainable bioenergy feedstocks, processing technologies and fuels
   

• Evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of these new technologies, and use the results to guide research activities
   

• Bring technological advances to other academic scientists, the private sector and the marketplace
   

• Balance mission-driven project management and evaluation with the creative milieu of its academic, private sector and national laboratory research partners
   

• Recruit broad segments of the academic, industrial and national laboratory communities to develop and participate in relevant research programs
   

• Provide a training program for future leaders of the biofuels industry
   

• Inform a diversity of audiences on the scientific and societal issues associated with biofuels
