4-H is proud to introduce “Biofuel Blast,” the National Science Experiment which will introduce youth all around the nation to biofuels. Millions of young people will actively participate in a live demonstration of how organic materials can be converted to fuel to supply energy. The experiment, designed in conjunction with The University of Wisconsin/Madison Extension and Wisconsin 4-H, offers several activities to showcase how cellulose and sugars in plants can be used to create ethanol.
