How do we get biomass from the land while preserving—or even benefiting—its living communities? Whichever course we take, researchers at the CALS-led Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center are determined to put all pros and cons on the table.

In less than five years of operation, the CALS-led Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center has produced a number of breakthroughs that may lead to a less oil-dependent future

Biomass is not just destined for liquid fuel. It’s changing the way a diverse range of goods and services are being produced and provided in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin farmers are well positioned to take advantage of a new market—but getting there will take some fresh vision and a little retooling

Where are we in terms of moving toward the “green gas” of the future? Here we present an illustrated overview of research progress.
