Climate Change

This video provides a basic overview of biotechnology and its many applications in our daily lives.

Biofuels have the potential to play a critical role in addressing climate change

In a presentation at International Science Attachés Briefing, Matthew Carr outlines how the "third wave" in biotechnology can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

We have used the biological processes of microorganisms for 6,000 years to make useful food products, such as bread and cheese, and to preserve dairy products.

There's actually good news about energy and the environment: The U-S will reduce both pollution and reliance on petroleum by tapping into home-grown fuels from farm, wood and paper waste. 

Biorefineries to produce advanced biofuels and biobased product require sustainable sources of cellulosic biomass. Adoption of no-till agriculture promises significant economic and environmental benefits for farmers while enabling them to provide cellulosic biomass from crop residues to these biorefineries.
