Federal and international estimates are that the planetarian needs for energy will at least double between now and the end of the twenty-first century.
We have an ever-growing need for energy around the globe.
I think that the way we have generated energy in the last hundred years, from essentially a single point of fossil fuels, is not sustainable.
Either by the end of this century, or clearly moving on, we need to have other strategies.
I think that what we're doing in the Center is critical to this energy grand challenge that I talked about,
because it's helping us diversify how we source energy for society.
We're evaluating the potential for how one specific part of the biofuels area, cellulosic biofuels, can contribute to that energy equation that society will need to live on.
