Citrus Peels To Run Your Car? A Sweet Ethanol Fuel Is On Its Way
By Mr Ethanol | January 23, 2008
Tampa Bay’s 10:
Florida’s citrus groves may no longer be just for orange juice. Plans have been made to make fuel from citrus peels.
A plant planned in Auburndale will produce ethanol from citrus peels thanks to a $500,000 grant. The plant would begin by using a 10,000 gallon fermenter and some 67,000 pounds of citrus peels per batch, and then upgrading capacity, in the production of ethanol.
The ultimate goal of the project is to design and build a full-scale commercial plant capable of generating 8 million gallons of ethanol a year by using and disposing of 800,000 tons of citrus waste annually.
Florida drivers will use more than 10 billion gallons of gasoline in a year.
