 Innovations at the Interface: This Faculty of Engineering seminar series was hosted Dr. Jerald Schnoor, preeminent scientist from Iowa State University, who gave a talk on Global Warming and the Future of Biofuels. View video >>
UN Climate Change Conference, Bali, December 3-14, 2007: Christoph Steiner, Ph.D., member of the Biorefining and Carbon Cycling Program, was invited by the UNCCD to present research and prospects of soil charcoal amendments to sequester CO2 and restore soil fertility. He stressed that use of charcoal as a soil amendment is not new. He highlighted research and development into the production of biochar (non fuel char use) as a by-product of gasification, with simultaneous sustainable land management and carbon sequestration benefits. He noted that a CDM market could make biochar widely available. View presentation >>
