LANDOVER, Md., Oct. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Energy awarded FDC Enterprises of Ohio a share of a $21 million grant to develop systems for cellulosic biofuels.
FDC Enterprises joins renewable energy consulting firm ANTARES Group to handle and deliver the feedstocks.
Cellulosic biofuels come from switchgrass, woodchips and other similar agricultural residues, FDC Enterprises explains.
"We are excited to be selected and we believe this is a great opportunity for energy and agriculture to be teamed in a way that helps America," said Fred Circle, president of FDC.
Cellulosic biofuel offers an advantage over cellulosic ethanol as it does not deplete stocks of sugar cane, corn and milo, or other forms of food. While cellulosic biofuels are more difficult to process, the stock comes from non-food renewable resources.
