Biofuel feedstocks of the future

Last week, I visited the Region 7 office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to participate in a panel discussion about the feedstocks that will be used for biofuel production in the future. The panel discussion was part of the Ag Week conference put on by the EPA Region 7 Ag Team. I was joined on the panel by Dr. Emily Heaton from Iowa State University, Alan Weber from the National Biodiesel Board and Greg Karr of the Midwest Research Institute.

POET was invited to talk about our progress toward producing cellulosic ethanol from corn cobs. Here's the presentation I gave. After it loads (which may take a while) just click on it to advance the slides:
