K-State Pools Cellulosic Ethanol Expertise In New Center
The rising cost of gasoline. Coal, wind or solar power.
Energy issues are promoting much discussion today, including in Kansas.
And they're all researchers at Kansas State University's Center for Sustainable Energy think about.
The center, which began taking shape earlier this year, is an effort to bring together all renewable and sustainable energy related activities at K-State “ which is saying a lot.
That work spans three of K-State's colleges and several departments.
"By consolidating university-wide work on bioenergy, Kansas State University will realize its own efficiencies, which will allow us to take our research to the next level," said M. Duane Nellis, K-State provost and senior vice president.
"K-State researchers and resources are being invested in solving this pressing global problem."
The center has three primary goals: to research and develop sustainable energy systems and lower greenhouse gas emissions; to educate those on and off campus about sustainable energy; and to facilitate the adoption of new technology by industrial users.
The center was established with a $750,000 K-State Targeted Excellence grant to provide incentives for active research in sustainable energy.
