If N.C. State researchers are right, pig waste and a pond weed indigenous to North Carolina may hold keys to reducing our dependency on petroleum.
Anne Stomp, an associate professor of forestry and environmental resources, is leading a research project at Julian Barham’s 4,000-sow hog farm in the Corinth-Holders area to see if duckweed, nourished with pig waste, can be cultivated on a large scale then dried and used to make ethanol, a fuel that can power automobiles.
