Video: Converting Biomass to Liquid Fuels
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (2008)
A 5 minute online video that gives a nice overview of what is cellulosic ethanol, the production process, and the areas of scientific research needed to create the fuel. GLBRC is working in these same areas.

Fields of Energy Video
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture
A free DVD with student hosts. Two short segments show how corn ethanol is made and the research into cellulosic ethanol.

Biofuels:  Beyond Ethanol
A 10-minute video by KQED which provides background on the lab science behind the biofuel challenge and focusses on how the areas of synthetic biology and directed evolution can create microbes that produce fuels similar to those we currently use in our vehicles.  Features JBEI, another Bioenergy Research Center.

Plant Breeding Educational Videos
The ‘Fields of Study’ videos interview researchers working in the UW-Madison Plant Breeding and Plant Genetics Program. Currently, there are videos available on corn, peppers, and switchgrass breeding. ‘Switchgrass Breeding’ provides an overview of the crop’s advantages as a perennial grass that can be used to combat soil erosion and to produce biofuels. These videos are appropriate for upper elementary school students and higher.

Green Revolution
The "Green Revolution" video series by the National Science Foundation features researchers hoping to find clean energy solutions for the future. Watch the Biomass video to learn more about how biomass can be used to produce fuel, and to see one of the GLBRC labs.
