What is FreeWays to Fuel (F2F) National Alliance?
FreeWays to Fuel National Alliance is a research project designed to investigate the use of non-traditional agronomic lands such as roadside rights-of-way, military bases, and airports for the growth of biofuel feedstock crops across the country. Nearly all highway areas in the United States have monetary costs to maintain. Utah’s Department of Transportation (UDOT) alone has nearly 6000 miles of highway roadsides that require maintenance at costs of $300 per mile in 2006. A potential cost reduction could be realized in using this land to grow biofuel feedstock crops.
