Michigan State University in East Lansing is working with two other universities to develop a freshwater recovery system to extract clean irrigation water from hydraulic fracking wastewater. The reclaimed water could help western states that need it for crops and livestock. Investigators are Andre Benard, working with James Klausner, both of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The race is on to create cheap materials to store energy for the U.S power grid, said Mechanical Engineering Department Chair James Klausner. MSU is sharing a $2 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). "We think we can return electricity to the grid at less than 5 cents per kilowatt hour," he said.
