About the NYCLB

The New York Center for Liquid Biofuels (NYCLB) at Morrisville State College was established in 2007 to conduct research in the use of biofuels. The Center received funding from New York state to begin research and development, with the ultimate intention of creating a statewide biodiesel infrastructure—creating fuel used in New York from feedstock grown in New York.

Morrisville State College faculty and students, industry professionals and business leaders will collaborate and conduct groundbreaking research on biodiesel use.

The NYCLB will focus on research in the following areas:

Production and feedstocks
Use in engines: emissions, stability, and performance
Options and uses for by-products
Use of biofuels in locomotive transportation

Research will be conducted at two main sites: Empire AgriFuel, a planned 5 MGPY feedstock crushing and biodiesel production facility in Cortlandville, N.Y., and at the NYCLB Locomotive Biodiesel Research Laboratory in Binghamton, N.Y.
