An Introduction to Bioenergy & Biofuels

About this channel

Biomass is all around us and understanding where it fits in our energy and chemicals paradigm is an important part of using it effectively and sustainable. This channel will host a series of videos that serve as an introduction to bioenergy core concepts and technologies, technical background, and the economic, environmental and socio-cultural sustainability of bioenergy. These short videos have been designed to communicate the bioenergy basics needed for people from diverse backgrounds to understand what bioenergy is and where it fits in their region. The objective is to enable dialogue and learning so that bioenergy discussions become more commonplace. Written slide notes and support materials for each lecture can be found at the Bioenergy Education Initiative site (http://agsci.oregonstate.edu/bioenergy-education) at Oregon State University. An associated online E-campus course, BRR 350 Introduction to Regional Bioenergy is also available. This was made possible by USDA AFRI
