Graduate students and Native American tribes will tap forests, farms for biofuels

Most of Washington state’s biofuels come from plants grown elsewhere. But a newly launched $3 million program will team doctoral students, UW faculty and local Native American tribes to transform local forestry and agricultural waste into plant-based fuels.

"We want to create a new generation of PhD graduates in sustainable energy, and develop local sources of renewable fuels" said Dan Schwartz, professor of chemical engineering and leader of an interdisciplinary group that has received the multimillion-dollar award for graduate education from the National Science Foundation.
