Researchers from the University of New Haven will use a state grant to find out if any species found in Long Island Sound could become a viable source of biodiesel fuel.

Professor Carmella Cuomo, the principal investigator and coordinator of the marine biology program at the university will share the $135,276 grant from the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology with Eddie Luzik of the university’s chemistry department.
