U.S. gives $650 million loan aid for biofuels from waste

These loan guarantees are specifically for cellulosic ethanol not made from corn, and that’s a good thing. Instead the ethanol will be made from leftovers like woody biomass, animal fat, crop processing leftovers, and trash. Thus, they are turning a liability into an asset. This is way better than dumping the waste into a landfill or burning it.
