Sustainable Aviation Fuels - Forward in Energy Forum
As global efforts accelerate to reduce transportation’s environmental impact, aviation remains one of the more challenging sectors to decarbonize due to its growth and its reliance on high-energy-density liquid fuels. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from bio-based sources offers a promising near-term solution to this challenge while enhancing energy security and rural economic development.

The Future of Heating in Cold Climates
Space and water heating account for almost half of global energy use in buildings today, and nearly two thirds of heating energy use relies on fossil fuels. Those numbers are even higher in cold climates such as Wisconsin’s. A number of solutions exist now or are in the works to increase the efficiency of heating systems in our homes and businesses while cutting costs and pollution. What are the pathways that can scale these solutions up to reach their full potential?
2026 Wisconsin State KidWind Challenge: Saturday, March 7
The KidWind Challenge is a hands-on renewable energy competition that engages students in STEM. Student teams bring small-scale wind turbines or solar devices that they've designed to the Challenge where they will be tested for power output. Teams also meet with a panel of expert judges to present their design process and demonstrate their contextual knowledge and tackle instant challenge activities.
