\"\"<\/a>
Via How Stuff Works<\/figcaption><\/figure>The U.S. Department of Energy announced that it is giving $36bn in federal grants to six small scale projects across five states whose objective is to produce drop-in advanced biofuels and other bio-based chemicals. The ultimate goal of the projects is to improve the economics and efficiency of cellulosic ethanol, also known as second-generation ethanol, which converts non-food biomass into biofuels as well as bioproducts and biochemicals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said the funding will help diversity the department\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Biomass Program portfolio and include fuels and chemicals beyond cellulosic ethanol.<\/p>\n

The projects that received the funding were:<\/p>\n

General Atomics:<\/em> San Diego, California (up to $2 million)
\nGenomatica, Inc.:<\/em> San Diego, California (up to $5 million)
\nMichigan Biotechnology Institute:<\/em> Lansing, Michigan (up to $4.3 million)
\nHCL CleanTech, Inc.:<\/em> Oxford, North Carolina (up to $9 million)
\nTexas Engineering Experiment Station:<\/em> College Station, Texas (up to $2.3 million)
\nVirent, Madison:<\/em> Wisconsin (up to $13.4 million)<\/p>\n
