USDA pays 156 advanced biofuels projects

The USDA is paying nearly 45-Million dollars to 156 advanced biofuels producers through the Farm Bill’s Bioenergy Program. Payments are made to producers and business owners who make fuel out of renewable biomass materials other than corn kernel starch. Materials such as “cellulose; crop residue; animal, food and yard waste material; biogas (landfill and sewage waste treatment gas); vegetable oil, and animal fat.”

Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says the funding helps increase production of renewable fuels and helps support the growing biofuels industry while generating “green jobs and economic growth.”
