Introduction

=Welcome to "Going Bio" =

Biomass is material derived from living biological organisms and Biomass can be converted to a solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel or Biofuel. Replacing conventional fossil fuels with biofuels can benefit the world by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improved the rural economy by creating a higher demand for crops and also creating more jobs to process the biofuel. Also, biofuels are a source of renewable power.

This is a collaborative effort to develop a Problem Based Learning (PBL) for the investigation of Biomass in our community. Because the Biomass in each community can differ, we will examine the various ways students can investigate the use of their specific community biomass for biofuel. Students also have an option to locate resources that might be imported into the community for even boarder types of biomass for biofuels.

Updates will be made where necessary as additional research is completed. Any suggestions for improvement are welcomed.
