Advanced Hardwood Biofuels Northwest (AHB) is a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) funded consortium of universities and industry partners working to develop a Pacific Northwest biofuel industry that provides 100% renewable and infrastructure-compatible transportation fuels derived from sustainably grown hardwoods.
Research
Mitigate technology risks along the entire supply chain so that an advanced biofuels industry, which uses purpose-grown woody energy crops and makes significant contributions towards RFS2 targets, can be built in the Pacific Northwest.
Extension
Build a critical mass of competent small- and medium-size growers to provide the industry with supply of purpose-grown woody energy crops, and address the needs and concerns of stakeholders that will be impacted by an advanced biofuels industry in the Pacific Northwest.
Education
Build a critical mass of well-trained workers capable of filling the crossdisciplinary needs of the industry.
