Southern Research has committed to supporting the development and optimization of C2L technologies in a way that produces cleaner burning transportation fuels, reduces life- cycle greenhouse gas emissions, provides fuels at competitive prices, and uses domestic carbon resources such as waste products, nonfood-based bioenergy crops, non-invasive species, forest products and other domestic carbon supplies. Southern Research has created a unique new energy laboratory that will help developers optimize and commercialize their technologies, integrate them with value-added technologies, and collaborate with new partners and clients.
