Energy Institute Leading EPIXC Project to Electrify High-Temperature Reactions
With funding from the United States Department of Energy, through the Electrified Processes for Industry without Carbon (EPIXC) Institute, Texas A&M researchers will conduct a two-year “jumpstart” project devoted to developing electrified heating technologies. When early humans learned to harness fire for heat around 400,000 years ago, it marked a monumental turning point in mankind’s […]
Texas A&M Energy Institute Joins $26 Million Initiative to Revolutionize Carbon Utilization
Researchers from Texas A&M University and the Texas A&M Energy Institute are playing a leading role in a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to revolutionize U.S. manufacturing toward zero or negative emissions. Texas A&M and other top-tier institutions are part of a $26 million decarbonization effort led by Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. Funded by the National […]
Team led by Hasan will receive $1.5m from EPA to Reclaim Harmful Refrigerant Chemicals
Prof. Faruque Hasan will lead an EPA funded project titled, SMART-RECLAIM: Scalable, Modular and Adaptable Reclamation Technology for Hydrofluorocarbon Refrigerant Enhancement, Circular Logistics, and Intelligent Manufacturing. In partnership with co-leads Prof. Eleftherios Iakovou and Dr. Kalin Baca the team aims to reduce the overall time and cost of reclaiming highly mixed hydrofluorocarbons by developing a modular technology amenable to extreme changes in hydrofluorocarbons compositions and a data-driven and prescriptive framework for smart reverse logistics.
Agricultural University of Athens Students Visit Texas A&M to Study Energy Issues
In January 2024, 10 students from the Agricultural University of Athens traveled to Texas to visit Texas A&M University as a part of “METAVASIS” (Mobility for Energy Transition Awareness to Bring About Societal Impacts), a project funded by the United States Embassy in Athens.
Texas A&M Water-Energy-Food Nexus helps tackle water scarcity
Rabi Mohtar, Ph.D., a professor in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering and the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, as well as a Senior Advisor for Resource Nexus in the Texas A&M Energy Institute, is joining forces with several universities as part of a new collaborative effort funded by the National Institutes of Health, titled, “The Global Center on Climate Change, Water, Energy, Food and Health Systems, WEFH,” which will address the impacts of climate change in vulnerable communities in the Azraq Basin in Jordan.
