That's been our experience as well. The process of putting together
the grant application spurred us to do some worthwhile thinking
about how we're approaching the challenge of converting biomass into
fuel, but after reading the commentary from the review committee, I
came away with the impression that they weren't ready to seriously
consider any non-traditional utilization routes. <br>
<br>
If someone is looking to convert, say, beetle killed trees into
fence posts, that's something they can envision; converting forest
waste to liquid fuels, not so much. <br>
