The Spartan Podcast - Steve Pueppke
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.

The Spartan Podcast - Ken Keegstra
From MSU Today on Impact Radio: Ken Keegstra is MSU University Distinguished Professor of plant biology, biochemistry and molecular biology. And he’s the executive director of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, one of three major new U.S. Department of Energy research centers funded with $125 million over five years. MSU will use approximately $50 million for basic science research aimed at solving some of the most complex problems in converting natural elements to energy.
Keegstra talks about the role he and his MSU colleagues will play in this exciting new venture. He tells us how energy is derived from plants and gives his views on the food versus fuel debate.

Major bioenergy initiative takes flight in Midwest
MADISON - Federally funded center will be part of the Wisconsin Bioenergy Initiative A consortium of universities, government laboratories and businesses led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison to explore the vast potential of bioenergy was awarded one of three major new U.S. Department of Energy research centers, it was announced today (Tuesday, June 26).
The award, in the neighborhood of $125 million over five years, establishes the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), where scientists and engineers will conduct basic research toward a suite of new technologies to help convert cellulosic plant biomass – cornstalks, wood chips and perennial native grasses – to sources of energy for everything from cars to electrical power plants.
