1Renewable biofuels, including ethanol, offer the promise of reducing our dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels. Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) are addressing some of the key challenges associated with ethanol, including find ways to make the fuel from plant material that is not also used as human or animal food. Reeta Prusty Rao, assistant professor of biology and biotechnology, is exploring ways to modify yeast to boost the production of ethanol.
