UGA Biorefinery and Carbon Cycling Program

Caption

UGA's Biorefinery and Carbon Cycling Program, in partnership with EPRIDA, a private firm in Athens, Ga., host a pilot thermochemical biorefinery on the UGA campus. The pilot-scale refinery system converts peanut hulls to hydrogen (or other fuels) to biochar. This byproduct holds tremendous potential for carbon sequestration and production of soil amendments, bio-based products and fuels.
