Renewable Energy Center Research Activities

The Renewable Energy Center is focusing on the thermal pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass to enhance its suitability for thermochemical conversion. By employing wet and dry torrefaction methods, the project aims to reduce mass and increase energy density of woody biomass. Supported by a $488,000 grant from the US DOE, and partnering with the Gas Technology Institute and Desert Research Institute, the initiative runs from January 2008 to July 2010. Additionally, the center explores energy recovery from municipal wastewater sludge and biofuels extraction for sustainable energy solutions.
