TACNY's Junior Cafe Scientifique presents: Chris Campbell, MS, renewables manager, O'Brien & Gere Companies and Sara Martin, P.E., project associate, O'Brien & Gere Companies and a member of the TACNY Board of Directors. Campbell and Martin will give a presentation entitled: "Back to the Future: From Waste to Power".

Have you ever seen science fiction movies like Back to the Future where garbage is put into the gas tank instead of gasoline to make the car go? Maybe you thought to yourself that this would never happen. Well, we are getting closer to a day when we utilize waste materials to power out homes and vehicles, helping to alleviate our dependence on fossil fuels. This presentation will show how, locally, these types of projects are being developed, including a demonstration where waste wood is utilized to create power and steam.
