From MSU Today on Impact Radio: Steve Pueppke is the director of MSU’s Office of Biobased Technologies.

Renewable energy for American industry is at the root of a major Midwest research center funded by the largest federal grant exclusively for research endeavors in MSU’s history. MSU will partner with the University of Wisconsin-Madison in establishing the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center. MSU will use approximately $50 million in U.S. Department of Energy funding for basic science research aimed at solving some of the most complex problems in converting natural elements to energy.

Pueppke discusses the projects MSU will work on in this new venture. He talks about what the bioeconomy is and why it’s important to Michigan’s future. He tells us why MSU is uniquely positioned to be a leader in the bioeconomy, and he tells us more about MSU’s Office of Biobased Technologies. Hosted by Russ White.
