JBEI Scientists Harness CO2 to Consolidate Biofuel Production Process
JBEI scientists have shown that adding carbon dioxide gas during the deconstruction phase of biofuel production successfully neutralized the toxicity of ionic liquids. The technique, which is reversible, allows the liquid to be recycled, representing a major step forward in streamlining the biofuel production process. Read more on the Berkeley Lab Newscenter

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk Visits JBEI
The Joint Bioenergy Institute (JBEI) welcomed the Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on June 4. Premier Palaszczuk visited the Bay Area with a contingent of almost 100 Queensland business, industry and community leaders who attended the BIO 2016 conference in San Francisco.
During the visit to JBEI, Premier Palaszczuk was given an overview by JBEI’s CEO Jay Keasling on the institute’s mission and achievements which was followed by presentations on the collaborative projects between the University of Queensland, JBEI and the DOE Joint Genome Institute. Blake Simmons, JBEI’s Chief Science and Technology Officer and Axel Visel, Interim Director of the DOE Joint Genome Institute gave presentations on the current collaborations with the University of Queensland.
JBEI Participated at Science Day Organized by CRS
JBEI’s Danny Tang volunteered on June 1 at the Science Day organized by the Community Resources for Science at a local Oakland elementary school. Danny partnered with Howard Matis, a Berkeley Lab Physicist to run an experiment about cosmic rays which involved custom built detectors. Danny and Howard saw three elementary classes and interacted with 90 students!
The organizer of this event, Community Resources for Science, is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting and engaging educators, students, and scientists in a vibrant and innovative web of science learning resources, transforming science education.
