Texas A&M Receives Sun Grant Funding for Bioenergy Research
September 14, 2007| |
Bioenergy research initiatives at Texas A&M will be funded by the Sun Grant Initiative, a US national program established to create new solutions for future U.S. Energy needs. "This funding will greatly enhance several core research efforts related to bioenergy as we seek science-based solutions to alternative energy for Texas and beyond," said Dr. Elsa Murano, vice chancellor and dean of agriculture and life sciences for The Texas A&M University System. "These grants demonstrate the depth of our bioenergy research programs and our commitment to leveraging agriculture to help solve our country's energy needs."
Bioenergy researches in the University and its other research and extension arms will focus on the efficient use of sweet sorghum in bioethanol production, the nutritional and feeding of ethanol by-products from animal production, and tapping other sources of energy such as biomass from switch grass and animal waste.
