North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University will open the Center for Electrochemical Dynamics and Reactions on Surfaces (CEDARS) funded by a four-year $10.35 million grant  from the Department of Energy (DOE). The center will be led by Dhananjay Kumar, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering (COE).

CEDARS is an interdisciplinary effort to establish clean energy initiatives. It is one of 43 universities and national laboratories receiving more than $400 million. The $400 million will go toward establishing and continuing Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC). CEDARS will primarily focus on splitting hydrogen and oxygen from water to produce clean hydrogen for energy use.

A&T is the only historically Black college or university – and the only university in the state of North Carolina – to receive this DOE funding.
