Florida can be 1 in Biomass Production More
than Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Oklahoma, and South Dakota combined! Florida can
produce 9 billion gal of ethanol per year from
biomass residues and energy crops
Florida can be 1 in the Nation in Renewable
Fuel Production.
