Chu: Developing the next generation of American biofuels will create vast new opportunities for wealth creation in rural communities

U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu today announced the Department is now accepting applications for up to $30 million in total funding for small-scale process integration projects that support the development of advanced biofuels that will be able to replace gasoline or diesel without requiring special upgrades or changes to the vehicle or fueling infrastructure.  This announcement is part of the Obama Administration's continuing commitment to accelerating R&D to develop a more sustainable transportation system, lower our dependence on foreign oil, and grow America's clean energy economy.
