BRIDGES Bioenergy 101 WebinaršŸ“š: Introducing Educators to Bioenergy National Laboratory Research

BRIDGES Bioenergy 101 Webinar - recording available eblast image

On September 14, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)Ā Bioenergy Technologies OfficeĀ (BETO), in collaboration with Argonne National LaboratoryĀ andĀ Idaho National Laboratory, held the BRIDGES Bioenergy 101 webinar. Attendees learned how theĀ Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge (BRIDGES)Ā program, a case study-based education curriculum, can be incorporated into their classrooms.

The webinar featured education professionals from national laboratories and DOE who discussed the following topics:

  • An overview of the BRIDGES program
  • How to access the BRIDGES National Laboratory Case Study Toolkits
  • A walk-through of aĀ case study on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)
  • Tools for empowering Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM) teachers to facilitate learning with knowledge-building bioenergy curriculum

BETO and its partners have developed toolkits forĀ four case studiesĀ covering SAF, upcycling plastics, bioenergy feedstocks, and waste-to-energy potential. Each case study toolkit includes a student and instructor guide focused on authentic research and development (R&D) scenarios using bioenergy technologies.

BRIDGES case studies can be taught in diverse settings, including high schools, technical and community colleges, and universities, and are designed to introduce students to exciting careers in the bioenergy industry.

Watch the BRIDGES Bioenergy 101 webinar recordingĀ to learn how BRIDGES case studies can help students develop and strengthen skills in problem solving, complex decision making, and understanding R&D dynamics. Learn moreĀ about the BRIDGES program. Ā 

BETOĀ supports technology research, development, and demonstration to accelerate greenhouse gas emissions reductions through the cost-effective and sustainable use of biomass and waste feedstocks across the U.S. economy. BETO is part of DOE'sĀ Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
