Indian-Based NGO Harnesses Biofuel From Sweet Sorghum

Indian-based non-governmental organization, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, on Wednesday presented to Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sweet sorghum as an alternative source of biofuel.

Sweet sorghum is similar to grain sorghum with sugar-rich stalks.
