2050 Biofuels and Other Sustainable Energy Sources

Tim Donohue presents What's Driving My Car? 2050 Biofuels and Other Sustainable Energy Sources
March 16, 2010, 7:00-8:30 pm at the MMoCA Lecture Hall

Tim Donohue, professor of Bacteriology, head of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center at UW-Madison, discusses the growing field of bioenergy, the production of energy from such renewable sources as plants, trees, and agricultural waste. With fears of global warming and increased pressure to reduce America's dependence on fossil fuels, Wisconsin's pioneering efforts in bioenergy may transform the way we live a generation from now.

This free, public discussion forum will be held on Tuesday, March 16, from 7:00-8:30 pm at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art Lecture Hall, 221 State Street, Madison. Seating is first-come, first served. Doors open at 6:15 p.m.

The Wisconsin 2050: Pioneering the Future series is sponsored by the Pleasant T. Rowland Foundation, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, University of Wisconsin-Madison, M&I Bank, the Evjue Foundation, and Isthmus Publishing Company.
