Defense Logistics Agency cites Pendse in announcing funding for wood waste to liquid fuel research

The Defense Logistics Agency cited Hemant Pendse, director of the University of Maine’s Forest Bioproducts Research Institute (FBRI), in a news release announcing an award of $4.8 million to FBRI to continue developing jet fuel from woody biomass. “UMaine’s wood-to-liquid fuels project takes a holistic view of harnessing Maine’s readily available woody biomass resources to create new revenue streams and new options for these resources,” Pendse said. “The project not only helps forest communities but also provides novel technologies for meeting military and civilian renewable liquid fuel needs.”
