The effort of this
research cluster focuses on resource assessments for renewable energy
and biofuels processes as well as greenhouse gas life cycle and
climate impact analyses of emissions related to different renewable
energy and biofuels production pathways. We currently employ three
engineers and one economist in this cluster.
Selected research topics
include:
- Combined heat and power
systems fueled by renewable resources
- Economic assessments
of renewable energy and biofuels technologies
- Biomass supply sources
for electricity generation
- Greenhouse gas emissions
from renewable energy and biofuels production along different
production pathways
- Land use change associated
with biofuels production
- Monitoring of CO2 releases from carbon capture and sequestration projects
- Resource and plant health
assessment of biofuels crops
Employed equipment and
tools:
Argonne National Laboratory's
Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation
(GREET) Model
- NASA developed hyperspectral
sensor with airborne platform
- ERDAS Imagine, ARC
Info, and other GIS software tools
- Survey research and
statistical software tools
