Iowa Biotechnology Byproducts Consortium

For well over a decade, the Iowa Biotechnology Byproducts Consortium (BBC) has been conducting fundamental and applied investigations aimed at enhancing the recovery and utilization of byproduct materials arising from new and emerging industries in biotechnology. Research projects place emphasis on fermentation wastes and agribusiness; and further, to reduce the burden of waste products on municipal waste management systems.

More recently, the USDA has recommended that realignment in support of the federal initiative in biobased products should be a future direction of the BBC. Researchers affiliated with the BBC are working to achieve this vision by conducting advanced research to overcome the technological barriers to biomass production, conversion, and wide-scale utilization.
