The Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS) at UK recently began work on a major research project to investigate the unconventional oil and gas potential of the Rogersville Shale formation in Eastern Kentucky and other related formations.
The EnVision Forum, held at Kroger Field, gathered more than 150 governmental, policy, industry and other leaders involved in the country’s energy sector.
The University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) has received a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy to improve efficiency and reliability at existing and future coal-fired power plants.
The University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) is one of eight entities to be selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to receive federal funds for research and development in "Novel and Enabling Carbon Capture Transformational Technologies" to address challenges and knowledge gaps associated with reducing the cost of carbon capture.
With funds from DOE, DOD and NSF, Jim Hower and Jack Groppo are locating and evaluating rare earth elements and processing coal-based materials, alongside industry and university partners.
Chemist Susan Odom leads UK's project as a partner in the $120 million Joint Center for Energy Storage Research, a U.S. DOE Innovation Hub focused on advancing battery science.
The project is part of DOE’s Carbon Capture Program, which is developing transformational, step-change, low-cost capture processes and enabling technologies that will maximize the efficiency of our nation's fossil-based power generation infrastructure.
Utilizing a gold-based catalytic system developed in the UK CAER Biofuels and Environmental Catalysis Laboratory, researchers have discovered a method to turn lignin into valuable aromatic compounds.
