David Bransby
Professor of energy crops and bioenergy
Department of Agronomy and Soils

Bransby will provide an overview of the emerging cellulosic biofuel industry
in the United States. He will discuss cellulosic feedstocks and technologies for
producing cellulosic biofuels, including alcohols, such as ethanol and hydrocarbons
and alkalines, such as diesel, aviation fuel and gasoline. Bransby twice visited
the White House to brief President Bush on the topic. He has been involved in
the cellulosic biofuels industry for more than 20 years.
