Tennessee Center for Renewable Carbon

Welcome

The Center for Renewable Carbon (CRC) has consolidated UTIA's growing research, teaching and outreach programs related to bioenergy production and biomaterials processing into one cohesive unit. Previously four groups were operating separate, but related programs. They include the Office of Bioenergy Programs, the Forest Products Center, the Sun Grant Initiative, and the Carbon Sequestration Program.

Upcoming Events

The Sun Grant Initiative National Conference on Science for Biomass Feedstock Production and Utilization will be held October 2-5, 2012 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside in New Orleans, LA. We are currently seeking proposals for presentations that further the vision of the bioeconomy and invite you to submit a paper for consideration. More.
