Professor Gail Taylor and PhD students Zoe Harris and Mike Allwright discussed their research on developing low carbon energy using poplar and willow trees as feedstock. Zoe, who has been funded by ETI for three years to measure the greenhouse gas balance of land use transitions to bioenergy cropping showed a short film of her willow field in Sussex being harvested whilst Mike was able to engage with politicians on his molecular research, funded by BBSRC, to identify genes underlying improved tree growth. Approximately 200 people attended the event.
