Decades of tree and biomass research jointly conducted by Florida Statue School and Shell Energy have resulted in the planting of the biggest single energy Crop Plantation in the whole US. This Plantation spans roughly 130 acres and is home to over 250,000 planted trees including cottonwoods ( local to the area ) and eucalyptus ( which are non-invasive ) with assorted row crops such as soybeans. This organization of super trees was brought into being as a consequence of the College’s joint research with other agencies including Shell, the US Dep. of Energy, the Common Purpose Institute, and groups of different people who are working to develop alternative power sources ( those not reliant upon traditional fuels ) for the future. This research is concentrated on the planting and processing of biomass energy supplies from fast-growing crops known as closed loop biomass or just anergy crops? The project tries to development ower plants? Like wood-pulp or wood-fiber providing plants ; clean biogas to be utilised by industries ; plants like surgarcane which may be employed for ethanol development and crops like soybeans for biodiesel fuel
