We’re excited to share that UC Merced researchers were recently featured in an Iowa PBS Market to Market news story, “Reducing a Carbon Footprint by Turning Trash and Manure Into Power.“
The segment spotlights California’s leadership in climate action and highlights the impactful work of UC Merced’s Dr. Sarah Kurtz and Dr. Gerardo Diaz as they help transform waste into renewable energy. From biofuels to biogas, their innovations are advancing sustainability while supporting rural and disadvantaged communities.
