Default MSU project tackles alternative fuel

Quote:
The environmental and chemical engineering department at Mississippi State University is involved in an ongoing project to develop alternative fuel from products that can be found in Mississippi.
About 80 faculty members, 50 graduate students and 10 postdoctoral research associates at MSU are applying their collective brainpower to the task.
The goal is to create fuel from wood, crop residue, cotton gin trash, nuisance plants, animal waste, human waste and other organic, non-food products found in Mississippi.

See Coskata.com for details as this company can utilize any carbon based material and turn it into fuel. This includes sewage!
