General Motors Announces Partnership With Coskata To Make Ethanol From Garbage
By Mr Ethanol | January 14, 2008
Warrenville firm says it can make more efficient, less costly fuel; hopes to produce 100 million gallons a year by 2010.
Chicago Tribune:
Bags of garbage and bald tires that go to landfills today could wind up in your gas tank in a few years, along with wood chips, crop residue and plastic pop bottles.
That’s what Coskata Inc., a biofuels start-up in west suburban Warrenville and auto industry giant General Motors Corp. said Sunday at the Detroit Auto Show in announcing a partnership to produce ethanol from just about any carbon-containing material by 2011.
This would produce pump prices that are 50 cents to $1 less per gallon than gasoline - even before federal ethanol subsidies - and would reduce greenhouse gases. An Argonne National Laboratory study has concluded that cellulosic ethanol produces 85% to 90% less greenhouse gas than gasoline, compared to 20 percent to 30 percent less from corn-based ethanol.
