***APOLOGIES FOR RECEIPT OF DUPLICATE POSTINGS***

Colleagues/

I am pleased to inform you of the formal launch of  _The Bioenergy Blog_ 

[ http://thebioenergyblog.blogspot.com/ ]

The Bioenergy Blog is a devoted to the identification and promotion of key primary and secondary/tertiary literature relating to biorenewable fuels, most notably bioethanol and biodiesel. 

It will focus on the technical aspects and technologies associated with the production of these fuels, as well as other bio-based fuels.

It will seek to identify significant monographs as well as conference proceedings, dissertations and theses, reports and other grey literature, as well as popular works and relevant digital sources, notably DVDs and significant Websites. Select major review articles will also be profiled.

With proper support, it is hoped that the major publications and presentations cited in The Bioenergy Blog will be compiled into a Web-based annotated bibliography.

The first posting is most appropriate for the launch of _The Bioenergy  Blog_  is:

ISU Town Hall Meeting on Biorenewable Resources 

Iowa State University President Gregory L. Geoffroy addresses attendees at a campus-wide Town Hall Meeting on Biorenewable Resources, held October 23 2006 at the university. The presentation provides background information on bionewables and the expertise of Iowa State University and current future opportunities for the university. 

Includes a Question and Answer session with Geoffroy, ISU faculty experts, and attendees.
