The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently announced 125 biofuel producers will receive payments to support their production and expansion of biofuels made from non-food sources, including wast products.
Funding is based on how much biofuel a recipient produces from renewable biomass other than corn kernal starch. Eligible feedstocks include crop residue; animal, food and yard waste; vegetable oil; and animal fat.
Through this funding the USDA is looking to support research for a diverse variety of biofuels, which will not impede on food production or costs, as well as the infrastructure needed to produce the biofuels and job creation.
