"Got impact? Working towards global change from inside the university"

------------------------------

Bryan Willson, Ph.D., has led the development of several clean energy technologies at CSU that have now been implemented at large scale. In this talk, Willson will discuss three of these technologies:

▪ emissions reduction for the U.S. natural gas pipeline system

▪ clean cookstoves and two-stroke engine retrofits for the developing world

▪ algae-based biofuels

Entrepreneurial approach to disseminating new technologies worldwide

Willson will discuss large-scale dissemination models were tailored for each application. These technologies have achieved global impact through this entrepreneurial approach and are poised to dramatically increase the impact.

This entrepreneurial approach to global impact is now being implemented more widely at CSU through campus-wide research organizations such as the Clean Energy Supercluster and through academic programs such as the Global Social and Sustainable Enterprise program in the College of Business.
