Funded by BP, which initially agreed to contribute $500 million over a 10-year-period, with $350 million slated for academic research, EBI is a joint initiative between the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the energy company. It is the largest public-private venture of its kind. All research from its academic labs is published and publicly available. More information about the EBI is available to the public through the EBI Bulletin and its magazine, Bioenergy Connection, which cover emerging trends in the field of bioenergy.) EBI was designed as a creative, multidisciplinary institution. Because bioenergy research is so complex, the institute promotes a holistic view by encouraging scientists from many disciplines \u2013 biology, chemistry, botany, environmental science, economics, and others \u2013 to collaborate on investigations. The institute's main research areas are: \n* feedstock development (work on plant sources of biofuel) \n* biomass depolymerization (breaking down the plant cell wall to enable sugar, or energy, extraction) \n* biofuel production \n* the environmental, social, and economic impact of bioenergy development \n* fossil fuel bioprocessing (using microbial processes to help make oil recovery \u201Cgreener\u201D and to shrink its carbon footprint)"@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
