DARPA Moves Out on Biofuel Contracts

Last December we wrote about Hawaii BioEnergy and that company's hope it would be able to team with either Bechtel or SAIC on a biofuel development contract. SAIC announced that they had been awarded a $25 million contract to work on this DARPA funded project. PRNewswire has the press release here. SAIC did not say if they had added companies to their team but as part of the announcement did identify Hawaii was one of the sites where the work will be performed. So maybe Hawaii BioEnergy got a deal as well.
