Some people look at animal manure and see a waste product to be avoided. Dr. Samy Sadaka looks at manure and sees a potential energy source for the future.
Sadaka is an assistant professor - extension engineer with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. He has been conducting research for several years into new fuel sources for an energy-hungry world.
With a major commitment by the Division to his work and additional outside funding, Sadaka is working on six projects that focus on converting agricultural waste into gaseous and liquid fuels.
Since joining extension in February 2007, he has hit the ground running, establishing two biofuel and bioenergy research and extension laboratories at the U of A Rice Research and Extension Center at Stuttgart.
He is the lead scientist at the center in designing, manufacturing and testing equipment and processes to turn manures, vegetable oils and other agricultural products into a usable fuel.
