On our Columbus campus, the CFAES Rattan Lal Center for Carbon Management and Sequestration advances our understanding of soil health. We look forward to seeing how this model will impact global research through the new Lal Carbon and Soil Health Center.
Rattan Lal traveled to Tashkent to commemorate the opening of Lal Carbon and Soil Health Center at the National University of Uzbekistan. It will mirror the @osucfaes Rattan Lal Center for Carbon Management and Sequestration at @OhioState. @OSUEnvironment oia.osu.edu/news/2025/05/08/…

As we conclude Air Quality Awareness Week, we are reflecting on the significant air quality benefits that low-carbon liquid fuels like biodiesel and renewable diesel offer. These fuels have the ability to efficiently power diesel engines while drastically lowering criteria pollutants in new and existing diesel vehicles. Learn more: MiAdvancedBiofuels.com
