Climate Change

FOSSIL fuels ~300 million years ago (before dinosaurs!): CoalOil Now:

CO 2 Burning Fossil Fuels puts EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Carbon dioxide cycles naturally CO 2 Carbon from grass is converted to CO 2 by herbivores and decomposers

Climate Change SOLUTION? Bioenergy or Biofuels or Grassoline CO 2 When using grassoline as a fuel, CO 2 that is produced would have been released into the atmosphere naturally through other processes

The BEST Experiment Question: Is Grassoline Sustainable? Or How green is grassoline? BioEnergy SusTainability Experiment

What kind of grassWhat kind of grass to make grassoline from?—lots of species (prairie) or just one species (switchgrass)? fertilizeShould we fertilize to make the grass grow bigger? Will doing this create other kinds of pollution? ecosystem cutWhat will happen to the ecosystem when we cut the grass (to make fuel)? The BEST Experiment Question: Is Grassoline Sustainable? or
