UNC to Move Towards Going Green

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

ASU aren't the only ones moving towards becoming more green. UNC Chapel Hill will get Federal Stimulus money of about $17.5 million to develop a Solar Fuels Research Center. The funding comes from the US Department of Energy and President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The money will pay for a research center to develop solar fuels for next-generation photovoltaic technology. The UNC project is just one of 46 energy frontier research centers being funded at American universities and research institutes, and the only in North Carolina. It is one of 16 to receive stimulus money for job creation. The project will involve UNC faculty from chemistry, physics and astronomy. Scientists from NC State, NC Central and Duke Universities, as well as the University of Florida, will collaborate as well.
