Converting waste to ethanol could decrease cost and increase environmental benefits.
semissourian.com: Story: Representatives of bioenergy firms discuss benefits of technology to lumber industry:
by Matt Sanders -- 11/1/2005
"Ensyn's biomass conversion system quickly converts wood waste with 10 percent moisture or less, such as sawdust, to a variety of products from food additives to fuels. With few emissions and little solid waste, the process is a relatively clean way to generate energy, Boulard said.
Phoenix's system is slightly different, using a variety of biomass sources, from tires to sewage to garbage to wood, to produce synthetic gas to replace natural gas or catalytically converted to ethanol and methanol.
Unlike a proposed ethanol plant in Cape Girardeau that would require a fermentation system, the Ensyn and Phoenix conversion systems quickly become self-sustaining shortly after being put online."
