Federal bioenergy lab will give Wisconsin a chance to shine
Wisconsin Technology Council, Tom Still, June 28, 2007
MADISON – It’s been a long time since Wisconsin landed a federal research laboratory… too long, many observers might say.
The U.S. Forest Products Laboratory came to Madison in 1910 when Gifford Pinchot, the first chief of the U.S. Forest Service, was pioneering scientific forestry. The NationalWildlifeHealthCenter, established in Madison in 1975, has been back in the news as scientists there engage in a race against bird flu.
The latest addition is the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, which will explore ways to convert all types of biomass into fuel for cars and power plants. It is a $125-million, five-year grant that will eventually leverage another $100 million in state and private dollars.
