Energy & Bioproducts
Engineering a circular bioeconomy.
In the desert Southwest, we've been engineering ways to do more with less for more than a century. Our Experiment Stations provide a hub for scientists to develop and test new bioproducts, biofuels, and biotechnologies.
We're fueling new commercial markets.
Learn how we're circumventing landfill waste and supporting a circular bioeconomy by re- and up-cycling agricultural, food product, and biological waste.
Roughly 30% of food produced in the US each year ends up in landfills. Producing edible insects redirects that waste into vertically farmed sustainable protein for a growing population. Researchers at the Campus Agricultural Center are looking into the viability of edible insects as an alternate source of protein for food and feed.
