Description: Juan Enriquez challenges our definition of bioenergy. Oil, coal, gas and other hydrocarbons are not chemical but biological products, based on plant matter -- and thus, growable. Our whole approach to fuel, he argues, needs to change.

Juan Enriquez: Using biology to rethink the energy challenge

Using biology to rethink the energy challenge

Redefining energy through bioengineering could transform our relationship with oil, gas, and coal, making them growable resources.

Agriculture's evolution from brute force to biological insights hints at a future where energy is cleaner and more efficiently produced.

Stabilizing oil prices could incentivize innovation in renewable energy, creating a more sustainable and economically viable future.
