- 10.22 Powering the Future with Whiskey Waste In Person
-
Maximum Enrollment: 80
Our research talk will present recent work from the University of Kentucky Department of Chemistry showing how waste from Kentucky bourbon distilleries can be transformed into valuable energy‑storage materials. Each year, bourbon production generates large amounts of leftover grain mash that is difficult and costly to manage, yet this research demonstrates how it can be safely converted into useful forms of carbon. These carbon materials are used in energy‑storage devices that charge quickly and last a long time, combining advantages of both batteries and capacitors. The work illustrates how an iconic Kentucky industry can reduce waste while creating new environmental and economic value. Overall, the study offers a clear and practical example of sustainability, innovation, and responsible resource use that is relevant to our community.
