  4. Analyze data from biofuels studies, such as fluid dynamics, water treatments, or solvent extraction and recovery processes.

    AI could help, but needs extra software

  5. Prepare, or oversee the preparation of, experimental plans for biofuels research or development.

    AI could help, but needs extra software

Tasks AI can't do much of

  1. Conduct experiments on biomass or pretreatment technologies.

    AI is unlikely to speed this up

  2. Develop lab scale models of industrial scale processes, such as fermentation.

    AI is unlikely to speed this up

  3. Conduct experiments to test new or alternate feedstock fermentation processes.

    AI is unlikely to speed this up

  4. Confer with management, production, or marketing staff to discuss project specifications or procedures.

    AI is unlikely to speed this up

  5. Develop separation processes to recover biofuels.

    AI is unlikely to speed this up
