	From your Petroleum Department Corn Cob Biofuels Face Economic Challenges While corn cobs could provide a future source of biofuels, a Purdue University study says farmers will have to receive a much higher price than previously estimated to cover their costs and turn a profit. Diverse Feedstocks Key to Sustainable, Successful Biofuels Industry The debate continues as scrutiny increases over the sustainability of ethanol derived from crops developed for food production. This is driving researchers to find cropping options that will produce ethanol sustainably without taking more of the land currently used for food and feed production. Variable Subsidy for Ethanol Offers Benefits With the current government subsidy for ethanol producers set to expire at the end of the year, a Purdue University economist believes a variable subsidy rate might be a better alternative, since it would insulate producers from risk. A New Tool for Improving Switchgrass Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have developed a new tool for deciphering the genetics of a native prairie grass being widely studied for its potential as a biofuel.
