Governor Charlie Crist encouraged investment in Florida’s renewable energy industry while addressing attendees in Orlando at the 2009 Farm to Fuel Summit, hosted by Commissioner Charles Bronson and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Governor Crist praised investors and producers of ethanol and biofuels for their efforts to develop renewable energy.
In addition to funding research related to the production of ethanol using crops such as sorghum and citrus peel waste Florida is also investing in projects that focus on farming techniques that minimize the need for water and fertilizer.
Florida’s recent investments include research on biodiesel production from advanced energy crops such as jatropha and algae. Governor Crist highlighted that careful study of these second generation biofuels is part of an integrated solution for meeting Florida's future energy needs that also includes improving fuel economy, designing communities around smart growth principles and promoting mass transportation and conservation.
