As a researcher, visionary and advocate, Lynd is known for his leadership in finding cost-effective methods for making cellulosic ethanol, which promises to be advantageous over conventional corn-based ethanol in many ways.<\/p>\n<p>Lynd&#8217;s achievements were recognized last spring when he received the inaugural $100,000 <a href=\"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/invent\/n-pressreleases\/n-press-07LMA.html\">Lemelson-MIT Sustainability Award.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Along with his Dartmouth commitments, Lynd leads biomass conversion research at a new U.S. Department of Energy-funded biofuels center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Tennessee. He is also chief scientific officer and co-founder of the for-profit, New England-based Mascoma Corp., one of several companies with cellulosic ethanol (CE) facilities planned or under construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Lee Rybeck Lynd &#8217;79, a pioneer in the sustainable production of ethanol fuels from abundant, inexpensive and renewable plant materials, gives two public presentations at Bates College in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[7,130,232,17,217],"tags":[1690,2011,138,3269,10760,6164,8414],"class_list":["post-3622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alumni","category-collaboration","category-environment-sustainability","category-partners-public","category-science-technology","tag-biology","tag-carnegie-science-hall","tag-education","tag-engineering","tag-environmental-studies","tag-muskie-archives-and-special-collections-library","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3622"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89554,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622\/revisions\/89554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
