The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of Florida to develop and optimize selected, non-food, biomass- (high-yielding biomass sorghum, sweet sorghum, pearl millet, bamboo, and switch grass) based, advanced bio-fuels and bio-based products systems for the U.S. and India. The proposed project would address the second-generation biofuel research and development (R&D) priority area of the US – India Joint Clean Energy Center emphasizing sustainable feedstock cultivation and supply, biochemical conversion technologies for production of second-generation biofuels with minimal environmental impact, and analysis of overall sustainability and supply chain of feedstock as well as biofuel.
