Prototype refinery able to produce ethanol from biogas & waste biomass

This technology would utilize waste materials not only for process fuel but as the actual feedstock for ethanol production. It is one of the avenues being explored for moving beyond grain and sugarcane for ethanol production. These are the kinds of technologies that will enable ethanol to make a much bigger dent in fossil fuel imports than is possible with ethanol from corn alone. -- Jeffrey Goettemoeller

"Syntec's catalysts will produce ethanol from unlimited sources of feedstock using waste gas, i.e., biogas from landfills, sewage, manure, wood waste, and producer gas (thermal gasification of biomass or other carbonaceous material such as municipal solid waste). This process reduces both CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions."
