A new environmentally friendly approach to turning manure into fuel or fertilizer is being taken by a team of researchers at the University of w88 sports betting, Reno.
The National Science Foundation, or NSF, recently awarded .3 million to a four-year project led by the chemical and materials engineering department at the w88 sports betting.
The project, led by Chemical and Materials Engineering Associate Professor Chuck Coronella, is titled “NEWIR Manure: Nutrient, Energy, and Water Innovations for Resource Recovery.” It is a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to study and develop a solution to environmental effects created by current concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs. The growth of CAFOs over the years helps with dairy and meat production, but addressing the challenge of sustainable manure management at large-scale CAFOs is significant.
The team includes: Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Sage Hiibel; Kim Rollins, former professor of economics at the University of w88 sports betting, Reno and currently at the University of Connecticut; Pablo Cornejo of California State University, Chico; and Antonio Faciola at the University of Florida and formerly an assistant professor in the w88 sports betting’s College of Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources. The project is a collaboration with the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain and will include exchange of scholars over the duration of the four-year project.
Making fuel and fertilizer the environmentally friendly way
“Our goal is to make [current concentrated animal feeding operations] sustainable, with no smell or pollution.” - Coronella
Ask the professor | Should you buy drinks with added electrolytes?
Electrolytes play important roles in the body. Are drinks with them worth the extra cost?
Chenin Treftz Nickel, with the College's Rethink Your Drink Program
Drinks with added electrolytes are more expensive than plain water, and some people might wonder if they are worth the extra cost.
Electrolytes are minerals, such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium and chloride. These all have important roles in the body, such as regulation of blood pressure, helping muscles contract, and controlling fluid balance. Having the right balance of electrolytes in your body is important.
Many drinks sold today have added electrolytes. These are often marketed as sports drinks or smart waters. Drinks with added electrolytes are more expensive than plain water, and some people might wonder if they are worth the extra cost.

Rethink Your Drink
The program promotes healthy beverage choices and reduces the intake of sugary drinks.
Women in science | A Q&A with the College's pet food mercury researchers
Professor Gustin and fellow researchers Chichester, Dunham-Cheatham, Luippold and Vargas-Estrada talk about their work and answer related questions
Ashley Andrews
Researchers at the w88 sports betting are investigatinghow much mercury is in pet food and if ingredients on the label actually match what's in the food.
Acrowd-funded w88 sports betting research teamis taking a closer look at pet food to figure out just how much methylmercury, the toxic mercury compound that can have negative health impacts, is in what our pets eat. They're also checking if the ingredients listed on the label match what's actually in the food, and they're sharing what they find with the public.
Health for the whole family
"We as humans often are exposed to unknown contaminants in our food. Animals are even more susceptible to contaminants in food because they are fed the same food daily." - Gustin
Growing a stronger w88 sports betting
Our w88 sports betting work together to make an impact
Our teaching, w88 sports betting and engagement programs are intertwined and complement one another. Faculty who teach on campus also conduct w88 sports betting as part of the Experiment Station, allowing students to learn about and participate in w88 sports betting. Extension faculty engaging with communities identify w88 sports betting needs, as well as join Experiment Station faculty to conduct w88 sports betting. Faculty on campus help to develop Extension programs in communities.
Researching critical issues
Experiment Station faculty conduct research at experiment stations, labs and research facilities across the state, as well as teach classes and share and conduct research with students. The state-federal partnership tackles issues affecting w88 sports betting's citizens, communities and economy.
Teaching w88 sports betting students
We offer 17 undergraduate and graduate degrees to prepare w88 sports betting for high-paying, in-demand careers in agriculture, rangeland & veterinary sciences; biochemistry & molecular biology; natural resources & environmental science; and nutrition.
Engaging w88 sports betting communities
Extension is engaged in w88 sports betting communities, presenting research-based knowledge to address critical community needs. The county-state-federal partnership provides practical education to people, businesses and communities, fulfilling the University's land-grant mission.
