STEPS is proud to announce that its Biofuels Research Track leader
Bryan Jenkins was awarded the 2009 Johannes Linneborn
Prize at the 17th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition in Hamburg
on June 30th. Professor Jenkins was given this prestigious award for
his work in research on biomass and his role in founding the California
Biomass Collaborative. Accepting the award, Professor Jenkins spoke
about the need for global cooperation and collaboration in defining
indirect land use change effects as individual nations try to enforce
standards on sustainability.
The Johannes Linneborn Prize was established in 1994 for
rewarding outstanding contributions to the development of energy from
biomass. Johannes Linneborn was a pioneer in
modern biomass utilization. In his professional life of almost 70 years,
his interest covered a wide range of activities from agriculture, energy
and transport to health and nutrition. His credo was the necessity to
integrate all human activities in the natural cycle of life.
