Dr. Bruce McCarl
In an era marked by climate change and the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions, agriculture provides environmentally safe resources and significant opportunities for economic growth. Nobel Laureate Dr. Bruce McCarl is a pre-eminent Texas A&M University faculty member investigating policy, economic analysis and agricultural-based strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change through the utilization of agriculture management strategies such as producing feedstocks for biofuels and capturing carbon in agricultural soils.
Rocking Energy Storage: Investigating rock alterations from subsurface hydrogen storage
Dr. Esuru Rita Okoroafor, led a study funded by the Texas A&M Energy Institute to assess the impact of hydrogen storage on different types of rocks. This seed funding resulted in a US Department of Energy project to determine the behavior of a large-scale geologic hydrogen reservoir.
Energy Institute Part of $140M Consortium to Electrify Process Heating
In the global pursuit of a more sustainable future, combating the effects of greenhouse gas emissions from heat produced by industrial processes has taken center stage. Texas A&M University has been named a key partner in a $140 million institute to advance heating processes with a five-year, $70 million grant from the U.S. Department of […]
Holtzapple Advances Commercialization of Carboxylic Platform
Since 1991, Dr. Mark Holtzapple’s research group has been developing the carboxylate platform, a process that converts biomass to carboxylic acids (e.g., acetic, propionic, butyric acids). These acids are valuable chemicals, and also can be used as intermediates to produce industrial chemicals and fuels.
