The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will lead a $13.5-million, million, multi-institutional research effort to improve sorghum as a sustainable source for biofuel production. It’s becoming more recognized that we need to move biofuel production to more marginal lands, so they don’t compete with food crops.

As both EV adoption increases and internal combustion engine vehicles have become more fuel efficient, states are seeking to offset lost revenue from the gas tax. Just as conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars measure fuel by the gallon, EV owners measure their energy consumption in kWh.

Using corn crop residue to make ethanol and other biofuels reduces soil carbon and under some conditions can generate more greenhouse gases than gasoline, according to a major, multi-year study by a University of Nebraska-Lincoln team of researchers published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The uncompressed input data totalled ?3
