UF teams up with Florida Crystals on cellulosic ethanol project

The University of Florida (UF) has selected a site owned by Florida Crystals Corporation to build a cellulosic ethanol research and demonstration plant in Palm Beach County.

This $20 million project is being financed through a state grant. The project will seek to convert sugarcane bagasse and other biomass into ethanol.

Florida Crystals is also currently engaged in a partnership with Florida International University to conduct research into similar cellulosic ethanol technology using sugar cane bagasse.
