sown on stony ground is a space for me to explore biogeoengineering and the use of modelling to evaluate its climate change mitigation potential. Desert greening – past, present and future – is the principal theme, although it touches on wider issues in afforestation, land management and the carbon market.

Creating energy from the earth
Plantations of the oil palm in Indonesia.
This isn't the first time I've mentioned EURENSSA, nor will it be the last. Among the various presentations given at the environmental research camp, one of particular interest to me discussed the production of biodiesel from palm oil plantations in Indonesia. Today I had the opportunity to interview Noor Hossain, the Industrial Ecology student who delivered that presentation. I asked him to shed some light the topic of biofuel; his research in it, key issues involved, and how modellers can contribute. Have a listen to our discussion below, and if you're interested in Noor's research then you can check out his ResearchGate page here.
