1 AN OVERVIEW OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY & GREEN CHEMICAL PRODUCTION R&D AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA Mark E. Zappi, PhD, PE Dean of Engineering Chevron Professor of Chemical Engineering Director of the Energy Institute & the Bioprocess Research Laboratory University of Louisiana
2 Institutional Goals university of louisiana Keep Louisiana the Energy State through the development of alternative energy systems Utilize Louisiana feedstocks to produce domestic energy Assist in assembling a state-wide R&D stakeholder team Serve as a key expert pool for state agencies & industry Position UL as a global leader in energy R&D Keep it real economics do matter
3 Key UL R&D Assets Primary Participating UL R&D Entities: Cleco Alternative Energy Center (under construction) Energy Institute Bioprocessing Research Laboratory Solar Energy Research Laboratory Center for Ecology and Environmental Technology Over 30 faculty directly involved from three colleges Approximately $10M of R&D expenditures over last 5 years Currently, 20+ projects on-going Processes under investigation includes: Renewable diesel, ethanol, biogas, biodiesel, solar thermal, photovoltaics, wave point generation, gasification, torrefaction, algae culturing, lipid extraction, H2 catalysis, geothermal, etc.
4 NEWEST R&D ASSET The CLECO Alternative Energy Center (Crowley, LA) 5-Acres of land within an industrial Park Future Algae Growth Beds Collaborative R&D facility (Cleco & UL) Planned Pilot Test Bed Labs Biomass Storage & Pilot Areas Serves as Tech R&D Center targeting commercialization of promising power, fuels, and chemicals production processes Current income stream is $750K per year 4 full time staff (3 research engineers) Gensets & Flair Main Research Building Houses Gasifier, Torrefaction, & Biofuels R&D Activities Numerous students employed at site State of the art R&D assets
5 Main R&D Building Under Construction (Houses Labs, Pilot Area, & Staff Offices)
