Head Chris Somerville
By Katie Fehrenbacher
The wheels of a $500 million academic and industry collaboration to fight carbon emissions with bioenergy are starting to turn. On Dec. 1 Chris Somerville will officially start his work as the director of the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI), a first-of-its-kind partnership between energy giant BP, UC Berkeley, the University of Illinois and Berkeley Lab. While Somerville isn’t worried about BP’s influence on the institute, he is concerned that the negative mainstream media discussion of corn ethanol will poison the whole concept of biofuels before researchers get a chance to develop more environmentally attractive practices.
