Joint Research Centre for Biofuels and Biorefining

The joint research centre (JRC) project, supported by the Australia-China Science Research Fund (ACSRF), aims to develop advanced biorefinery technologies for producing biofuels, biomass-based polyurethane foams and nutritional microbial oils from sugarcane fibres. The JRC for biofuels and biorefining project is one of the two projects funded in this ACSRF round.
