Fundamental Understanding of Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactors for Environmentally Benign and Risk Free Proliferation 4th Generation Nuclear Energy and Hydrogen Production [abstract]
(2009-04)
of University of Missouri - Columbia, Missouri S&T, North Carolina State University focuses on the detailed hydrodynamics of the pebbles movement, gas dynamics and heat transfer using both advanced measurement and computation techniques. The progress made...
Advanced Biomimetic Materials for Reversible CO2 Capture from Air [abstract]
(2009)
The world is rightly focused on climate change. The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) identified carbon capture and storage (CSS) as a critical technology for reducing emissions, not
only from power ...
Modeling Environmental Impacts of Bio-fuel Production [abstract]
(University of Missouri Extension, 2009)
The short term vision for bio-fuel independence has focused on corn and soybean crops being used for ethanol and bio-diesel production. With increased crop demand we see an increase in crop production and the potential for nutrient, sediment...
Green house gas reduction through injecting CO2 in the subsurface [abstract]
(2009)
The evidence presented by the scientific community through the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) process has created a consensus among a majority of scientists and world leaders that there is a need to reduce ...
Landfill Methane Collection in Brazil [abstract]
(2009)
The US EPA requested proposals for projects that focus on reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) worldwide. Advancing the recovery and use of methane generated in landfills as an energy source is a primary objective. The overall project goal...
MU Extension - Developing Rural Missouri's Energy Independence & Economic Viability [abstract]
(University of Missouri Extension, 2009)
. A major focus of this effort is based on the development of a "new agricultural energy based economy' that will add value to the commodities raised and reduce the input cost for Missouri agricultural producers and agribusinesses and conserve energy...
Efficient and Reliable Energy Solutions for MU [abstract]
(2009)
Highly reliable and cost effective utilities are essential for the University of Missouri (MU) to achieve its academic, research, and outreach missions. MU's Campus Facilities - Energy Management department focuses on three key areas to help meet...
Switchgrass as a Bioenergy Crop: Biomass Production and Soil Carbon Sequestration in Response to Nitrogen Fertilization [abstract]
(2009)
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season, perennial grass native to the prairie region of the central U.S. Recent attention has focused on the development of switchgrass as a biomass crop for the production of cellulosic ethanol and other...
A State-Sponsored Renewable Energy Demonstration Project [abstract]
(2009)
at all levels from utilities toindividual households. Missouri has focused on biofuels, and wind development and solar
development are not widespread. In response to an initiative to reduce the State's utility costs,the Missouri Office of Administration...
Fuel Cell Policy Recommendations [abstract]
(2009)
In its review of the Department of Energy's Research Development and Demonstration Plan for
hydrogen, the National Academies recommended a study of lessons learned from technologies
developed for stationary power systems. ...
Study of the First Isolated Fungus Capable of Heavy Crude Oil Biodesulfurization [abstract]
(2009)
To meet stringent emission standards stipulated by regulatory agencies, the oil industry is
required to bring down the sulfur content of fuels. Oil supplies 38% of the worldwide energy,
and as the light oil is limited ...
Genomic strategies for soybean oil improvement and biodiesel production
(2009-04)
of biodiesel by 2015 from the current 75 million gallons produced in 2005, efforts should not only focus on expanding the number of oil crops to meet the demand but also to increase the amount of oil per hectare for each crop. Considering the ever increasing...

Nutrients management for biofuel production from switchgrass [abstract]
(2009)
Due to the rising need to find alternative fuel sources, much attention has been given to biofuel
in the recent past. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is one of the prospective plants for cellulosic
ethanol production. For ...
