Florida's Destiny Energy Farm to test future clean tech

OSCEOLA COUNTY, FL - The Destiny Sustainable Energy Farm, a small portion of the planned
self-contained eco-sustainable city in rural Osceloa County, will be a proving ground for future clean energy technologies and practices says its developer.

The farm will act as a center for learning about potential energy crops such as sweet sorghum,
algae, jatropha, and others.

Twenty acres of sweet sorghum have already been planted. The plant grows even in poor soil
conditions and requires less water than others.

"Destiny's Energy Farm will be a proving ground for technologies and practices of the future and
is a testament to our commitment to create a truly eco-sustainable community in the state," site
developer Anthony V. Pugliese said in a statement.

The farm is a cooperative effort that includes the University of Florida, GreenTechnologies LLC,
Everglades Farm Equipment, American Drilling Services, Global Renewable Energy, Southern
Farms, Energy Structures & Systems and Bio Greens Oil USA LLC
