Re: GM announces location of Coskata cellulosic ethanol plant
Great news. That is about 10 miles from where I live. They have a lot of land to work with their, so if expansion is needed, they can do so rather quickly.

Correction to what is stated above: Synthesis gas consists mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, not carbon dioxide.

Excellent. That part of the country has remained very underepresented for E85 fuel.

Re: GM announces location of Coskata cellulosic ethanol plant
I hope municiple waste is the prime source for producing ethanol using this method. That way, farmers can switch back to growing wheat so prices can fall......Hopefully...

I was thinking about that as well! Pennsylvania is a large state and it's not one of the ethanol growing states, so it's good to see ethanol really branching out everywhere.

Re: GM announces location of Coskata cellulosic ethanol plant
I wonder if we are seeing a replay of the VHS vs. BETA battle but this time with the players being ethanol fermented from crops vs. cellulosic ethanol? I greatly prefer the latter due in part to the vast amount of increasingly scarce water used to grow crops. This will be interesting to look back on ten years from now.

Re: GM announces location of Coskata cellulosic ethanol plant
they have also been using the plasma torch technology to burn contaminate waste.

Re: GM announces location of Coskata cellulosic ethanol plant
