Alliance for Collaborative Research in Alternative Fuel Technology (ALL-CRAFT)
(2009)
ALL-CRAFT (http://all-craft.missouri.edu) is a partnership of the University of Missouri,Columbia (MU, lead institution) and Midwest Research Institute (MRI), Kansas City, to developlow-pressure, high-capacity storage technologies for natural gas...
Preformed Particle Gels for Conformance Control
(2009-04)
Crude oil is found in underground porous sandstone or carbonate rock formation. After primary (natural energy) and secondary recovery (water flooding) have been exhausted, about 2/3rds of the original-oil-in-place is left behind. The US DOE states...
Microphotonic Harsh Environment Sensors for Clean Fuel and Power Generation
(2009-04)
Low cost, reliable, in-situ sensors are highly desired for advanced process control and lifecycle management in various power and fuel systems. Many energy generation processes involve harsh conditions throughout the operation that requires...
Hydrogen Generation via Novel Supercritical Water Reformation Technology
(2009-04)
and higher energy efficiency than conventional steam reforming technology; (e) alleviation and control of coking; (f) use of unpurified, locally available water; (g) compact size and minimal space requirements; (h) great flexibility in feedstock variety...
Advancement of TRISO Nuclear Fuel Coaters for High Temperature Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactors: Environmentally Benign and Risk Free Proliferation 4th Generation Nuclear Energy [abstract]
(2009-04)
The success on nuclear energy produced by advanced high temperature gas reactors (AGRs) is dependent on tri-isotropic (TRISO) fuel particle coating. Today modern AGRs require essentially zero defective/failed coated particles. Unfortunately...
Green, Sustainable, Energy Efficient, Cost-Effective Refrigerated Storage Facilities
(2009-04)
A green, sustainable, energy efficient, cost-effective refrigerated storage facility is defined as a structure that maintains a safe and appropriate environment for the storage of perishable food items while limiting its impact on the Earth...
Genomic strategies for soybean oil improvement and biodiesel production
(2009-04)
Soybean oil, a promising renewable energy resource, comprises 73% of biodiesel in addition to other industrial applications. Missouri is the fifth largest state in the US for soybean plantation. With the target to produce 225 million gallons...
Photovoltaic and Betavoltaic Efforts at University of Missouri-Columbia
(2009)
Photovoltaic device converts solar energy into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Efficiency of a photovoltaic device depends on the active material which absorbs light as well as the window layer which transmits light into the active layer...
Biofuel policies and markets in an uncertain world
(2009-04)
