~~ $1.00 A Gallon - Making Ethanol Cheaper? - With Switch Grass? -
A University of Rhode Island scientist aims to genetically modify switchgrass and produce 100% ethanol for less than $1 per gallon.
In the 2006 State of the Union address, President George Bush acknowledged the potential for switchgrass as a source of ethanol to reduce the nation’s reliance on foreign oil. According to Albert Kausch, a University of Rhode Island (URI) plant geneticist on the cutting edge of switchgrass research, native switchgrass grown commercially today could produce ethanol for approximately $2.70 per gallon — but by genetically improving a number of plant traits the production price could get as low as $1 per gallon.
