Bioenergy Day: Bioenergy 101 Learning about the Technology and Opportunities What if we could reinvent, reimagine, and regenerate the world around us to build a clean energy economy to reach net-zero emissions by 2050? How much do you know about Bioenergy? Did you know that bioenergy is used to create biofuels, known as sustainable aviation fuels, that are currently used in our commercial airlines? Bioenergy is a form of renewable energy derived from biomass, also known as feedstocks. Biomass feedstocks include dedicated energy crops, agricultural crop residues, forestry residues, algae, wood processing residues, municipal waste, and wet waste. Biomass can be converted to transportation fuels, chemicals, and bioproducts. Engage students and prepare the next-generation STEM workforce!
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Bioenergy Technologies Office recognizes that bioenergy resources in the classroom are a necessary component for exposing students to the benefits of renewable biomass and waste resources. October 23, 2024, is Bioenergy Day, a day to learn more about the benefits of bioenergy technologies that are critical in meeting the nation's decarbonization goals. Bioenergy technologies can decarbonize the transportation, industrial, and agricultural sectors and offer equitable and affordable solutions that promote job creation and economic growth. With back-to-school in full swing and in observance of Bioenergy Day, learn more about free exciting bioenergy-related education resources from BETO: - The Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge Program (BRIDGES) case-study based education curriculum is a resource designed to equip educators with best practices and instructor and student guides to deliver effective lesson plans.
- BETO's Bioenergy Career Map is an interactive, educational tool that explores the vast network of bioenergy occupations, illustrates potential career pathways, and identifies the education and training required for each career.
- BETO supports internships and fellowships that provide hands-on experience in the bioenergy field. These programs are an excellent way to gain the skills and knowledge needed to jumpstart your career.
- The Bioenergy Coloring and Activity Book offers a learning experience that teaches key bioenergy facts and raises awareness of renewable energy.
