Thanks again, smitter, for sharing what seems like optimistic news from Richard. I am expecting some good news too from him or Arnie, whenever they have something new to share.
I agree, their technology needs to be applied for the ability to utilize low cost waste materials, such as the wood industry residues that their Fulton plant will be using. They also have talked to Waste Management about building plants near their bigger "dumps", to use cellulosic materials available there. I think their process can utilize a number of different types of cellulosic feedstocks, so they would not be restricted from using any single source.
With the corn-based ethanol industry working with very poor profit levels, and competing with the feed cost of dairy cows, this process should provide better profitability for ethanol production as well.
