This ‘double-whammy’ will be short lived as the current grant system towards the purchase of systems will be phased out and replaced by a pay per unit system. From April 2010, the government strategy of ‘Feed-In tariffs’, and from April 2011 ... [more]
Freedom Giant Miscanthus: Grasses could reduce the US reliance on foreign oil(01/01/2010)
Mississippi State University (MSU) has been studying Freedom Giant Miscanthus grass for 12 years. Results of that dedicated research indicate that Freedom Giant Miscanthus is a viable alternative to other biofuel sources, like corn, switchgrass and timber. The first guaranteed, university-backed strain of giant miscanthus grass is now available and is being commercialized by SunBelt Biofuels LLC, which has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with MSU. The implications of this ann... [more]
