All projects in the State of Kentucky

1. Continuation of Crosscutting Technology of CAST
   The Center for Advanced Separation Technologies at the University of Kentucky (CAST-KY) will develop advanced technologies that can be used to exploit domestic energy resources and help developing countries reduce their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In addition, new gas-gas separations technologies to be developed at the Center for Advanced Separations (CAST) will have crosscutti... Read more >

2. Production and Storage of Hydrogen from Coal Using C1 Chemistry
   The Consortium for Fossil Fuel Science (CFFS) is a multi-university research consortium with participants from the Universities of Kentucky, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Utah, and Auburn. The primary objectives of the program are: 1. Develop novel approaches to produce hydrogen from coal with "breakthrough technology" potential. 2. Develop new materials with potential to solve th...

3. Sensitivity of FT and Water-Gas Shift Catalyst to Poisons from Gasification of Biomass and Coal/Biomass Mixtures
   To determine the impacts of various poisons produced by gasification of biomass and biomass/coal mixtures on the downstream water-gas shift and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process catalysts, such that the specifications for syngas cleaning can be defined. To accurately assess performance parameters, catalyst testing will be carried out in two types of reactors, according to the react... Read more >
