Massachusetts Initiative for Non-corn Biofuel to be Announced Soon

BOSTON - State leaders are preparing to announce a major effort to lure biofuel companies, focusing on incentives for the production of non-corn-based ethanol.

Expected to be announced soon, the proposal seeks to encourage biofuel investment by stimulating demand. Officials are hoping the plan can reap environmental benefits while nurturing an industry that capitalizes on in-state natural resources.

Gov. Deval Patrick said last week that the plan will pursue cellulosic ethanol, a non-corn-based biofuel, using resources the state can rely on, including cranberries, algae and switchgrass.
