Sweetwater Energy teaming with Rochester Institute of Technology students

July 25, 2013 | Meghan Sapp

In New York state, collaboration between Rochester Institute of Technology’s Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences and Sweetwater Energy Inc. will give students experience with the Rochester-based company that has a sweet and sustainable niche. Sweetwater Energy provides its industry partners with a concentrated plant-sugar mixture for production of biofuels, biochemicals and bioplastics. The growing company seeks to develop a pipeline of RIT students with industrial biotechnology skills necessary for converting plant materials to sugar and a ready source of energy. The relationship could lead to co-ops or internships and, perhaps, full-time employment for some RIT students.
