You are at: Oilgae Blog.

EKU will establish a Center for Renewable and Alternative Fuel Technologies (CRAFT), that will be spearheaded by three professors from the agriculture and economics departments.The EKU biofuel project will be different from two energy-related research efforts conducted through the University of Kentucky's Center for Applied Energy Research.

That center is working with Nicholasville-based Alltech Inc. to see how the fermenting of plant cellulose could be made into fuels, said the center's director, Rodney Andrews. Another project uses algae to scrub coal power plants to reduce emissions.
