Clemson Sustainable Biofuels

It's sustainability week at Clemson University! Our Campus Biodiesel Guru is set up between Schelleter and Edwards touring the mobile biofuels lab and demonstrating how sunflower can be used to produce a domestically produced clean-burning renewable diesel replacement fuel and create valuable animal feed here in South Carolina.

Today we are starting assembly of our biomass gasifier as part of Creative Inquiry-Clemson research on Green Energy and Biofuels. This unit will be collecting data and powering Cherry Crossing Research Center using campus generated woody wastes and blends of sustainably produced algae.

Nearly 400 gallons of local sustainable biodiesel produced this year and we just collected 500 gallons of used cooking oil from Clemson University dining halls to make 400 more! Next Generation Scientists for Biodiesel Aramark
