The Bioenergy Center at N.C. A&T State University conducts fundamental research toward the development of advanced thermochemical biomass conversion technology for the efficient, economic production of liquid transportation fuels and hydrogen.
The center’s goal is to make biomass a more viable source of renewable energy by developing the basic science and technology that will make energy conversions more efficient and costs more affordable.
Its research is divided into three thrust areas.
A cross-cutting economics research initiative also is included.
The center provides education and training in bioenergy for undergraduates and graduate students. Opportunities are available for students with backgrounds in biological engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, economics, math, and related fields.
In addition, the center:
