Research for People & Planet: Bioenergy Pathways

Increased use of bio-based fuels and energy generation has the potential to decrease waste, reduce dependence on foreign fuel sources, and aid in decarbonization. Research into the production of biofuels from waste, ideas around a circular economy, and zero-waste industries are fueling a move toward bio-based energy generation. In this webinar, these ideas will be explored from both research and industry perspectives with consideration of both the production of biofuels and their use in the power industry.
The Research for People & Planet Series is hosted by the Boston University Institute for Global Sustainability (IGS).
