Senate Passes Henry Biofuels Measure

The Oklahoma Senate today passed Governor Brad Henry’s initiative to make Oklahoma a global leader in renewable energy. By a 45-1 vote, senators approved Senate Bill 510, which establishes the Oklahoma Bioenergy Center (OBC) to coordinate research and development of biofuels at Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma and the Ardmore-based Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation. Henry said Oklahoma’s expertise in energy and agricultural issues makes it ideally suited to be a leader in biofuels.
