Kansas expands biofuel push with $20 million federal boost
Gov. Brownback shifts funding from nearly spent energy grant to spend $20 million on two renewable biofuels projects with federal approval. About $15.6 million funds bio methane digester tech at Western Plains Energy ethanol facility near Oakley. $4.9 million backs a biomass harvesting and delivery demo by Kansas Alliance for Biorefining and Bioenergy. Sen. Francisco and Rep. Kuether criticized the funding changes citing reduced public input.
