Adam Kreek: olympic rower, Stanford graduate, former oilfield worker. After next year’s Olympics, he is determined to make his mark in the biofuel industry. Adam plans to start his own biodiesel production plants together with his wife, back in his home country of Canada. Adam is one of the many young enterpreneurs in clean and renewable energy production. He is determined to make a difference and convinced that he can. Adam talks with Tim, one of the students in my class, about his dreams and ambitions.

In this first in a series of discussons on carbon sequestration, we meet Marc Hesse, an aspiring graduate student at Stanford, who studies the physical processes that govern the movement of carbon dioxide once injected into the ground. Will it stay down? Will carbon sequestration really help in reducing the harmful effects of increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere? Marc makes a start in the debate on this issue.

Roz Naylor explained to us in a previous podcast how energy decisions made in the U.S. or Europe can have unintended consequences for the rest of the world. Because of the importance of this topic, we visited one of her PhD students, Joanne Gaskell, to learn more about the benefits, impacts — and limitations — of energy crops, from a national and global perspective.
Note the changed look of the interviewer! This podcast was created with several students at Stanford as part of a course project. There will be more student - run interviews on Smart Energy in the coming weeks. We had fun…

We’ll meet four aspiring energy engineers, businessmen and policy makers. Each student has his/her own reasons to study energy: Heather is determined to bring green energy technology to Anchorage, Alaska; Erin is convinced that the renewable energy industry offers fantastic business opportunities; Amanda strives to make substantial contributions as energy advisor and Ahmet is already making waves in green energy developments. Listen to their thoughts and ideas: Their excitement and determination are intoxicating.
Check out the future: student Adam Kreek designs biodiesel plan

It’s exciting to see young engineers excited about designing new green energy technologies. Meet one of them: Adam Kreek. Adam designed and built a (small scale!) biodiesel plant in the basement of my university building, which takes waste oils and fats from industry and households as stockfeed. Such systems can make a difference in local communities.
