Biofuels and Indiana - from Purdue to you

I thought it might be fun to see what Purdue has about biofuels. Looks like they have an entire website here. There are papers in .pdf format but I have not had time to read them. Purdue also has a Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering and the Richard G. Lugar-Purdue Summit on Energy Security.

Now I have two questions. First, am I just out of the swim of things or is there a problem here with a lack of publicity? The Purdue press release says in part:

To help farmers and the general public better understand the science and issues behind biofuels, Purdue has created a bioenergy Web site that highlights research techniques and information related to renewable fuels, ethanol and biodiesel.

"We developed this Web site for two audiences – crop producers interested in the use of their grain for feed and fuel, and the general public interested in how we're using resources for ethanol production," said Tom Jordan, assistant director of Purdue Extension.

Second, is there any strategic plan for converting this research to tangible use?
