Thanks to BB on the I-Hub for posting this first, within 15 minutes of it coming on the wire! This was followed closely by Jobynimble on The Raging Bull! More good news and for GERS!

Here is part:
CULBERTSON, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GERS - News) today announced that it has received a grant award of $375,000 to further the development of GreenShift’s patented and patent-pending algae bioreactor.

The funding is provided through the Montana Board of Research and Commercialization, a unit of the Montana Department of Commerce. The objective of the grant award is to demonstrate the production of algae from an industrial source of carbon dioxide in Montana using GreenShift’s patented and patent-pending bioreactor technology. GreenShift is to provide matching funds of $125,000.

David Winsness, GreenShift’s Chief Technology Officer, said that “We are excited to have this opportunity as the grant funding provided by the state of Montana further demonstrates Montana’s commitment to the development of alternative raw materials for fuels, chemicals and specialty products. While GreenShift’s approach is distinct from other algae offerings, significant additional development work is required to realize commercial viability. We are glad to have earned Montana’s support and we look forward to making a valuable contribution in this emerging field.”
