Researchers at the MSU Eastern Agricultural Research Center http://www.sidney.ars.usda.gov/state/ are working steadily to do their part to make environmentally friendly biodiesel fuel.

“I wouldn’t classify it as a big part, just a part of producing biodiesel fuel that may serve the energy needs,” says chemist Charles Flynn, Ph.D., who’s been testing crops since 2006. The center is part of a nation-wide effort to find alternative sources of fuel.
