UND Receives Federal Grant for Energy Research

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The University of North Dakota is receiving $500,000 from the federal government to work on energy research.

The U.S. Department of Energy grant will go toward a project to develop components for an advanced gas turbine that will capture and use natural gas.

UND officials say researchers are looking for a way to produce clean energy while reducing flaring.

The Grand Forks school is one of 10 universities across the country selected for energy technology research.
