Via the joint Biomass Research and Development Initiative, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy, are awarding $41 across 13 different biofuel development projects.
These include the Quad County Corn Cooperative, which will receive $4.25 million to refit an existing ethanol plant to add value to its byproducts, opening up new potential markets and revenue sources for the cooperative and $7 million for the University of Wisconsin that will use dairy manure and fiber produced from it to result in fertilizer and ethanol, plus using oils from crops as the basis for biodiesel fuel to power farm equipment.
