Nebraska Ethanol Plant Powered by Manure

WOWT | Ethanol With A Twist:
Critics of ethanol say it takes too much energy to produce but the people behind Nebraska Bioclean say that's not the case with the new facility near Mead.
Hallberg says a feedlot packed with 27,000 head of cattle will fuel production with cow manure.
'We won't purchase fossil fuels,' Hallberg says. 'We'll make our own energy inputs and the manure will be converted to biogas. We patented the technology and it's the first time we're using it at this scale.'
