Explore Our Current Projects:
BIODIESEL PRODUCTION CATALYST
This new research is in the scale-up stage, in conjunction with Wake Forest University, we have a functional carbon framework catalyst proven to allow low temperature direct production of biodiesel from free fatty acids.
FOOD FOREST - PERMACULTURE
Remediating an abandoned urban lot into a serene place that also feeds the neighborhood.
GREEN CHEMISTRY
Contract method development and validation focused on reducing waste, harm and time. Current technologies are used to create sustainable solutions to replace legacy techniques.
BIOMASS HEATING/COOKING STOVE FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
We now have a prototype device that can be used with waste biomass for safer heating and cooking in the developing world. Current efforts are optimizing it for production and characterizing the smoke output.
SUBURBAN SUSTAINABILITY
Can efforts made by typical suburban homeowners actually make a difference? Here we are examining lawn and garden impacts expressed in ways that will help education the public.
IDEAS
Do you have a research project that would help make the world a better place? If it is scientific in nature and you can help fund it, let us know, we may be able to help.
Research & Development Laboratory
In partnership with the Biotechnology Center at Forsyth Technical Community College, we have use of state-of-the-art equipment including Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technology, Real-Time PCR, Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, and Mass Spectrometry.
