2016 Northwest Wood-Based Biofuels + Co-Products Conference (NWBCC) Proceedings

The goal of the 2nd Northwest Wood-Based Biofuels + Co-Products Conference is to communicate research findings and promote collaboration to convert wood to biofuels with a focus on supply chain development, environmental impacts, co-products development for economic viability, K-12 education, and workforce development. Although the focus will be on regional efforts, a national and global perspective will also be included.

Dedicated K-12 Literacy Track

Bioenergy Literacy in STEM Education

Educators interested in bringing bioenergy literacy into the classroom are invited to join McCall Outdoor Science School, Facing the Future, Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center, and K-12 teachers to learn about the field of wood-based biofuels and gain background knowledge in bioenergy and biofuels.
