Biodiesel and Ethanol Investing

MyNC.com reports that Matthew Veal, an assistant professor at North Carolina State University, is leading the research into using sweet sorghum for ethanol production in North Carolina. Here’s how it works: crush the stalk, get a sugar juice, add yeast to it, the yeast metabolizes it and produces ethanol. The Biofuels Center of North Carolina awarded the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at North Carolina State University over $180,000 to expand the research on sweet sorghum.
