Food and bioFuel: Land Efficient Animal Feeds Enable Large Energy and Environmental Benefits

When: September 23, 2010
10:00 am EDT /3:00 BST (click here to view in your time zone)

Duration: 60 minutes with live question + answer period (we encourage you to allow 90 minutes for full event)

Agenda:

  • Almost 90% of agricultural land worldwide generates animal feed, not food for human beings directly
  • There are multiple opportunities using existing technology to farm land more efficiently to generate the same amount of food (actually animal feed) while also producing large amounts of biofuels
  • Integrating animal feed production with biofuel production avoids the indirect land use change effect and provides very large environmental and energy benefits, decreasing overall US GHG emissions by about 10% and petroleum imports by more than half.

Featured Speaker: Bruce Dale, Professor of Chemical Engineering and former Chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Michigan State University

Professor Dale is Professor of Chemical Engineering and former Chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Michigan State University. He is interested in the environmentally sustainable conversion of plant matter to industrial products- fuels, chemicals and materials- while still meeting human and animal needs for food and feed. He occupies a leadership role in the recently established DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC).
