Five projects newly selected will help to replace the need for gasoline and diesel in vehicles. The oils will be hydrotreated to produce diesel and jet fuel. The extracted rubber will be used in tire formulations, and the remaining plant residue will be evaluated for use in biopower and for conversion to jet fuel precursors.
