Undergrad helps restart BioBus program

Sam KramerChemical engineering and economics student Sam Kramer is one of two new co-chairs selected to lead the Next Generation Scientists for Biodiesel, according to an August 27 story in Biodiesel Magazine.

“My passion for biodiesel comes from my drive to improve my surroundings,” Kramer said. “Biodiesel production at Iowa State takes cumbersome waste cooking oil and replaces it with a product that mitigates greenhouse emissions, helping more than just the Ames community.”

“The world needs more capable and caring engineers,” Kramer said. “Programs like NGSB and our ISU BioBus Club spark interest in renewable energy and give young engineering students hands-on experience.”
