Auburn University’s Natural Resources Management & Development Institute unveils its new mobile gasification unit (sponsored by Alabama Power) at the Alabama State House as part of Alabama Energy Day.
Alabama Power’s sponsorship of the AU Mobile Biomass Gasification Unit will provide generous support for these outreach efforts, as well as funding for the operation and maintenance of the unit as it travels throughout Alabama.
“We are deeply grateful to Alabama Power for their willingness to partner with Auburn University in pioneering research related to energy production from Alabama’s renewable sources. It is our hope that with the mobile gasification unit, we can demonstrate various processes and biofuel sources by which a variety of businesses and entrepreneurs can draw on a wealth of natural resources to create economic growth,” said Larry Fillmer, executive director of the Natural Resources Management & Development Institute at Auburn University.
