This University of Wisconsin-Madison site features the development of a process that can convert biomass-derived carbohydrates into liquid alkanes ranging from C7-C15, which could be used as a premium, sulfur-free diesel fuel.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Biomass Program
The U.S. DOE Biomass Program develops technology for conversion of biomass to valuable fuels, chemicals, materials and power, so as to reduce dependence on foreign oil and foster growth of biorefineries.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Biomass Research
NREL is working to develop cost effective, environmentally friendly biomass conversion technologies to reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil, improve our air quality, and support rural economies.

Wisconsin Biorefining Development Initiative
Introduces biorefining processes that can transform low-value biobased feedstocks into multiple, higher-value biobased products.
