FOCUS - BioTown, USA in Mid-America:
by Stewaer Truelsen -- 10/17/2005
"According to Morehouse, one reason Reynolds was chosen to be the first BioTown is its location near major highways and its proximity to Purdue University. There also are more than 150,000 hogs in a 15-mile radius of Reynolds. Phase 1 of the plan is built around ethanol and soy biodiesel, but Phases 2 and 3 will explore turning livestock waste into electricity, natural gas and other products through anaerobic digestion and manure gasification.
In addition to the energy benefits, all the technologies being employed and planned for in the BioTown are environmentally friendly. The systems to turn livestock waste into energy also reduce odors. In the end, the whole town's energy needs could be met from biorenewable fuels."
