The Conn Center for Renewable Energy Research conducts and facilitates R&D on potentially commercializable renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. The Center promotes partnerships among the state's colleges and universities, private industries, and non-profit organizations to actively pursue federally and privately funded research and development resources that are dedicated to renewable energy solutions, including: 
• Advanced Energy Materials Manufacturing • Solar Energy Conversion
• Renewable Energy Storage
• Biofuels/Biomass Conversions
• Energy Efficiency & Conservation
By engaging and utilizing Kentucky's workforce and natural resources, the Center's ongoing goal is to seek outcomes that enhance global energy and economic security and maintain US technological leadership in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies. The Conn Center leads research that increases homegrown energy sources to meet the national need while reducing energy consumption and dependence on foreign resources.
The Conn Center is focused on developing technologies for converting biomass to useful fuels and chemicals. Specifically, the center is interested in lipid and cellulosic biomass conversions to transportation fuels and chemicals. Such capabilities will bring Kentucky new private investors to build plants that process biofuels utilizing our research expertise and innovations.
