Biofuels – what are they and where are they taking us?
April 11, 2011
Could your car run safely on biofuel, assuming you could find a petrol station selling it? And would growing biofuel make food shortages worse?
Does their production require more energy than they generate, or will they rescue us from a future petrol shortage? There are many benefits and possible problems of biofuels. Come along and ask your own questions when Dr Roger Ibbett talks on the controversial topic of biofuels.

It runs from 18:00 to 19:00 on 7 June 2011 at
