COBLESKILL, N.Y. – SUNY Cobleskill’s rotary gasifier is moving into a new development phase with award funding through a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant totaling $255,879. The award was given jointly to SUNY Cobleskill, the Research Foundation for SUNY, and industry partner Caribou Biofuels, Inc. for the continued development and commercialization of the inclined rotary gasifier technology that turns waste streams into biofuels, biopower, and soil supplements.
This is SUNY Cobleskill’s first grant award through the NSF and comes through America’s Seed Fund, a project supporting research and development of deep technologies based on discoveries in fundamental science and engineering. Funding support will ensure that the gasifier can be deployed anywhere globally and validate that the emissions from the gasifier are entirely neutral to environmental impact.
