  4. A call from President Perry and Provost Lord to integrate students learning with the opportunities brought with the Renewable Energy Center. ADM Partnership Meeting

  5. Center for Clean Energy Research and Education (CENCERE) Create and provide opportunities for faculty, students and staff to be engaged in study of clean energy across the whole campus. ADM Partnership Meeting

  6. Undergraduate Education • A concentration on Alternative Energies and Sustainability by Lumpkin College of Business and Applied Science. • An interdisciplinary minor on Environmental Sustainability (College of Sciences and Lumpkin College of Business and Applied Science) ADM Partnership Meeting

  7. Multi-disciplinary Master of Science in Sustainable EnergyProvides Leaders for Energy Industry Technology Physics Business Chemistry CENCERE:MS in Sustainable Energy Communication Studies Biological Sciences English Political Science Geology/Geography Economics ADM Partnership Meeting

  8. Laboratory Biomass Gasification System ADM Partnership Meeting

  9. Possible Collaboration Areas ADM Partnership Meeting

  10. Bio-Resource Development • Genetic modification of energy crops to minimize the input and maximize the energy output • New source development for bio-fuel including bio-oil such as oil from algae • Partnership with regional farmers • Supply chain development ADM Partnership Meeting

  11. Processing for Bio-Fuel • Processing and densification of agricultural residues (for example, corn stover) as renewable energy sources • Processing of other biomass (such as miscanthus) for efficient fuel • Bio-diesel from bio-oil and used cooking oil ADM Partnership Meeting

  12. Bio-Energy Conversion • Gasification of biomass • Sugar to fuel conversion (fermentation) including cellulosic fuel • Micro-biological digestion • Gasification of municipal solid waste for energy ADM Partnership Meeting

  13. Chemical Synthesis and Analysis • Synthesis of liquid fuel from biological sources or syngas • Chemical analysis of fuels and processes ADM Partnership Meeting

  14. Environmental, Economic and Social Impact • Environmental and ecological study including biodiversity on the impact of energy crops, and removing agricultural residues • Bio-char and ash: environmental impact and carbon management • Economic and social impact: collaboration with farmers and communities • International partnerships ADM Partnership Meeting

  15. Computer Systems for Bio-Energy • Geographic information system (GIS) • Computer modeling for bio-energy system development and decision making • Computer simulation for energy management, efficiency and conservation ADM Partnership Meeting

  16. Energy Park at EIU An Engine for Regional Economy A Gateway to Communities Clean Energy Incubator Energy Crop Plots Renewable Energy Center ADM Partnership Meeting

  17. We are interested in collaboration with our partners. ADM Partnership Meeting
