Researchers at the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) and the Department of Chemistry have received a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to advance their innovative biofuels research.
“We hope to better understand how sulfur accumulates in biofuel feedstocks, what happens to the sulfur during thermochemical conversion, how to remove sulfur and improve gasification efficiency.”
The project is part of DOE’s Carbon Capture Program, which is developing transformational, step-change, low-cost capture processes and enabling technologies that will maximize the efficiency of our nation's fossil-based power generation infrastructure.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health, announced that University of Kentucky's Matthew Gentry has received the Landis Award for Outstanding Mentorship.
Utilizing a gold-based catalytic system developed in the UK CAER Biofuels and Environmental Catalysis Laboratory, researchers have discovered a method to turn lignin into valuable aromatic compounds.
Researchers in UK's Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) have received a $3.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory to develop an intensified process to significantly reduce the capital and operational costs associated with CO2 capture.
LUXFER MEL Technologies, a global producer and supplier of inorganic materials, has licensed technology from the UK Center for Applied Energy (UK CAER) that shows great promise in reducing vehicle emissions.
UK will receive over $940,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and the National Energy Technology Laboratory to advance its world-renowned carbon dioxide capture research and development.
