Topic: 101 Production of Bioenergy and Biochar from Switchgrass and Spirulina Algae
Presenter: Hamed El-Mashad, Ph.D.
The utilization of marginal lands for biofuel production has been proposed as a promising solution for meeting biofuel demands while avoiding food-feed-fuel conflicts. However, there is uncertainty surrounding whether or not marginal lands can be reliably located, as well as their inherent biofuel potential and the possible environmental impacts.
Professor Ken Giles has been named a fellow of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers for insightful research, teaching, and outreach related to engineering design and development for agricultural mechanization.
