2 5 the production of renewable fuel and other high=value
2 6 products and coproducts used in formulating rations
2 7 fed to agricultural animals.
2 8 b. "Biorefining" means an integrated process that
2 9 uses biomass as a feedstock for conversion into a
2 10 range of differentiated products such as transport
2 11 fuels and bulk and fine chemicals, and uses waste
2 12 biomass for heat or power.
2 13 3. Moneys appropriated for purposes of the George
2 14 Washington Carver endowed chair as provided by this
2 15 section shall be allocated only to the extent that the
