Researchers see promise in clusters of farmers who are willing to grow crops for biofuels

It sounds like science fiction—but it could happen in real life. Stan Temple describes “de-extinction” and its promise for conservation.

A CALS-trained teacher brings bioenergy into high school classrooms

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

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.
