Biomass and Bioenergy Research Group

the biomass and bioenergy research group (bbrg) is a world-class research group, based at the university of british columbia. the group conducts advanced research and develops innovative solutions to meet the needs of the emerging biobased businesses in canada and around the world. to meet its goals, bbrg is made up of a core group of engineers and scientists focused on turning raw biomass to industrial feedstock that would meet the requirements of producing high value intermediate chemicals and biofuels. the main technical activities of the group consists of evaluating the physical and chemical properties in relation to biomass size reduction, drying, pelletization, and best practices for safe handling and storage of biomaterials. the group has also unique expertise in developing mathematical models for conducting feedstock supply chain simulations and techno economic assessments. in short, bbrg bridges the often neglected gap between raw biomass source and biomass conversion. as feed
