ROGUE is engineering two of the most productive American crops—energycane and Miscanthus—to produce a sustainable supply of biodiesel, biojet fuel, and bioproducts.
Bioenergy
Engineer crops to produce an abundance of natural oil to convert into biofuel and bioproducts.
Sustainability
Improve the photosynthetic machinery to be more efficient, productive and sustainable.
Technology
Transfer ROGUE technologies to crops through an efficient pipeline from in silico design, bioengineering, field testing.
Efficacy
Conduct techno-economic analyses and test technologies through replicated field trials.
ROGUE is sponsored by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research in the Office of Science in the U.S. Department of Energy.
