Researchers from across the state gath-ered to highlight Oklahoma’s bioenergy research efforts during the Oklahoma EPSCoR Annual State Conference on Tuesday, April 10, at the Wes Watkins Conference Center on the Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater. Leaders in the bioenergy field engaged conference participants through presentations and discussion during an opening plenary session. Special guest presenters and their topics included: Dr. Chad Haynes, science and engineering technology advisor, U.S. Department of Energy, “The Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy: A New Paradigm in Transformational Energy Research.” Dr. Matthew Langholtz, natural resource economist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, “Overview of the U.S. Billion-Ton Update.” Mr. Phil Weathers, director of operations, RenTech Inc., “From Research to Demonstration – The Rentech BioEnergy Center of Excellence.” Conference attendees participated in a networking luncheon, where Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier, University of Oklahoma Vice President for Researach, and Dr. Uma D. Venkateswaran, NSF EPSCoR program director, shared information about NSF energy research directions and funding opportunities. An afternoon panel session, led by the day’s speakers and EPSCoR external advisory board member Dr. Larry Walker, engaged audience members in discussions addressing bioenergy sustainability in Oklahoma and the nation. The session was moderated by OK EPSCoR co-PI Dr. Raymond Huhnke. A scientific poster session and hybrid poster/oral presentation competition spotlighted research progress in the alternative energy field. Forty four posters were on display at the conference.
