Dr. David Shonnard of the Chemical Engineering Department is describing the Wood-to-Wheels (W2W) project to Michigan Tech President Glenn Mroz, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow and a MTU student with the senator's regional manager, Sheri Davie. Wood-to-Wheels is a Graduate Enterprise whose goal is to increase the overall efficiency of converting solar energy captured in forest and other biomass resources into products for transportation using ethanol, biodiesel, and green diesel as high energy-density carriers.
