The Natural Resources Research Institute is the front door to the University of Minnesota system for biomass research, outreach, and education. NRRI has unique, specialized equipment and expertise to characterize biomass for a variety of novel applications. A new focus is in evaluating biochar creation and application with an integrated approach because of NRRI’s diverse resources available (water, minerals, biomaterials). We are the one-stop shop for application-based research and commercialization. NRRI has extensive knowledge and ability to agglomerate fine biochars to create more usable and higher value biomass products for industry and the ability to produce biochars in grams to tons to de-risk scale-up efforts.
