Producing biobutanol from a waste product on a large scale is a novel idea.  Because of this, there is very little research available in this area.  Previous fermentation research has primarily focused on the production of ethanol or biobutanol using cellulosic or agricultural feed stocks.  The Phase I research team, Team R azorbacks E ngineering FU el S olutions for E veryone (Team REFUSE), sought to design a fermentation process that would produce butanol from food waste.  Team REFUSE cultivated a partnership with Chartwells, the campus food service provider for the University of Arkansas, for the acquisition of food waste.  They used the samples provided to run tests on food waste composition and determine the viability of using the food waste in an ABE fermentation process
