100 Million Gallons Of Ethanol From One Plant
By Nick March 25, 2008
Range Fuels have raised $100 million to build a plant that they believe to be able to produce 100 million gallons of ethanol per year, all that from wood scraps. The company previously received funds worth up to $76 million from the U.S. Department of Energy.
To convert the wood wastes into ethanol, Range Fuels will use thermochemical processes and the alcohol can be either mixed into gas, or be turned into the E85 combustible, which is 85 percent ethanol.
The plant is expected to begin its production in 2008, and the goal for the first year will be of only 20 million gallons. It will be located in Georgia, state with a huge timber industry, and will use the chunks of wood that are disposed by furniture workshops or other wood-processing factories.
