Advancing Biobased Transportation Research: The Sun Grant Initiative

The Sun Grant Initiative, led by Dr. Terry Nipp, Executive Director, focuses on biobased energy research and education in partnership with national Land Grant Universities and federal agencies. This initiative addresses national priorities in a regional context, utilizing an innovative Biomass Resource Internet Atlas and GIS-based decision tools. Competitive grants promote research on biofuels, feedstock development, environmental impacts, and economic viability. Diverse universities contribute to advancing technologies in bioconversion and sustainable practices. Learn more at [Sun Grant Association](http://bioweb.sungrant.org/).
