Fuel from landfill waste — could it be?
September 9th, 2008
Well, who are we to question what’s possible?
Coskata says their proprietary bacteria can gobble any carbon-based matter — wood chips, old tires, even municipal waste — and emit pure ethanol. Check out their website to see an animated explanation of the process.
This futuristic tech might sound impossible, but Coskata has already begun constructing a demonstration plant in Pennsylvania that will produce 40,000 gallons per year. The small output will be used in fleet testing to research the viability of the fuel.
The future belongs to the dreamers!
Many happy miles,
Adam
