Non-Food Ethanol Coming?

A story I read earlier this morning. This sounds like good news not only for energy production, but for lower food prices as well:

The U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded SunEthanol a $100,000 research grant to help America develop clean transportation fuels from a variety of non-food feedstocks, including corn stover, bagasse, switchgrass, sorghum, softwood (pine), and high lignin poplar. This is the third DOE grant that SunEthanol has been awarded in the past year.

Here is the website of SunEthanol Inc:
