The Biofuels Story – PREZI
(Wisconsin Energy Institute) What is the difference between biofuels and fossil fuels? Why are researchers at GLBRC (Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center) investigating making biofuels from corn stalks, grasses and other inedible plant material? This short interactive presentation introduces why GLBRC is researching making biofuels from non-food crops and traces the key steps in the production of biofuels from different plant materials. The presentation also explores the differences between biofuels and fossil fuels’ role in the carbon cycle.
See the classroom version of this story for instructions on how to use this story to introduce students biofuels and launch further study of the topic.
