Nurhan Dunford, oil/oilseed specialist, focuses research on renewable and clean energy technologies at the Oklahoma State University Robert M. Kerr Food and Agricultural Products Center. In this episode of The Food Files, Nurhan explains the importance of storing energy in composite materials constructed from locally available but underutilized resources. The goal of the research is to optimize the technical design of composite materials made from biomass and lipids and incorporate them in solar panels for efficient and clean energy storage.
