Similarly, Dr. Ken Reardon, professor of chemical and biological engineering, is noted for his contribution to biofuel technology as CSU campus coordinator of the Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels, or C2B2, part of the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory. In "Power Plants," Amanda Leigh Haag details the Collaboratory's big initiative to harvest energy from plant sources that don't compete with food -- a joint venture between CSU, the University of Colorado at Boulder, the Colorado School of Mines, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
