Energy research partners UNL scientists, public power
Officials from the Nebraska Public Power District and UNL announced March 11 a partnership to form the Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research.
NPPD will provide a total of $5 million during the next five years to support various research initiatives.
The Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research will fund research projects aimed at developing domestic energy resources and improving energy efficiency. Collaborative projects among UNL researchers and other public and private organizations working in energy areas will be supported.
The mission of the Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research is to conduct research that results in new technologies and processes that will develop domestic energy sources, increase energy efficiency, and improve the quality of life and economic opportunities for Nebraskans.
Initial areas of research could include advanced technologies for generation efficiency improvements, water and energy use, energy efficiency and conservation, carbon and nitrogen sequestration, biomass and bio-refineries, wind energy, fuel cells, and highly efficient batteries for electric vehicles. UNL researchers are working in these and other energy-related areas.
The goal of the center is to become self-sustaining by attracting additional funding from state and federal agencies, other companies and foundations.
