UMass Amherst’s George Huber takes ‘Grassoline’ on the road to Washington

UMass Amherst chemical engineering professor George Huber will explain his “Grassoline” research — gasoline and diesel fuel made from plants — to congressional staffers at a National Science Foundation event in Washington tomorrow. 

Last year, Huber won a UMass commercialization grant for development of a prototype reactor to demonstrate green gasoline production on a large scale. He has since spun a biofuel startup — Anellotech Inc. – out of the school’s Commercial Ventures & Intellectual Property Technology Development Fund. Anellotech is being incubated under the Mass Technology Transfer Center’s Virtual Incubator program. 

Huber also articulates his Grassoline vision in the latest Scientific American.
