In the next few years, Gary will be home to a new facility planning to turn trash into biofuel.

At issue is a part of the Energy Independence and Security Act, which only allows land cultivated before 2007 to grow corn and soybeans for biofuels.

The first few batch of biofuel have been generated at the Indy Zoo as part of a new conservation initiative.

Indiana is among 21 states that will receive federal grants to add more service station fuel pumps that can handle gasoline blends with more than 10 percent ethanol.
