Team Overview

The demand, consumption and cost of energy in the form of fossil fuel have continued to increase. Consequently, the supply of these fuel sources has dwindled whereas green house gas emissions have continued to increase. The charge for this multidisciplinary team is to evaluate alternative fuel sources in form of biofuel for the consumer, a task which will also create alternative sources of income for the limited resource farmer. The alternative fuels research team embraces the insightful and timely mission of minimizing fossil fuel dependency and strengthening energy security while protecting the environment.
