Grants and Contracts Details
Description
The goal of the project is to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing sweet sorghum as an
alternative feedstock for ethanol production. This supports the goals of the Kentucky
2005 Comprehensive Energy Strategy to increase the production of ethanol within the
state. Currently all ethanol produced in Kentucky is from com grain and alternative
feedstocks will be required if ethanol production continues to grow. There are growing
concerns that there will not be enough com to supply increased ethanol production
highlighted by the President's State of the Union Address.
