Researchers get $2M grant to develop biotech crops for biofuel use
The Department of Energy awarded a team of researchers at Colorado State University a $2 million grant to develop a system for modifying plants' genes, allowing them to be used for biofuel production. "Right now, most of the fuel we produce in biofuels is from materials that can serve as food for humans and animals. What we'd like to do is move to a set of feedstocks that don't compete with animals and humans," said Eric Toone, deputy director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.
