The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) received a $196,995 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the NSF Engineering (ENG) federal grant program (CFDA 47.041).

The award funds UTC's research project to characterize algae-derived renewable liquid fuel droplet combustion and identify ways to improve combustion properties through additives. Specifically, UTC will experimentally study droplet evolution, burning rates, and soot formation for algae fuels. The research also aims to determine combustion differences between algae and petroleum fuels and the impact of blending and additives. Results seek to advance the feasibility of algae-derived fuels as drop-in replacements to decrease fossil fuel dependency. The project supports undergraduate and graduate student research experience in experimental design, combustion analysis and other skills. Outcomes intend to contribute to renewable energy development in line with NSF ENG goals of fostering engineering innovation.
