And here I thought I was being original...
I just had a possibly neat idea, here again I don't know how original. There is that pesky problem with corn ethenol, right - using food for fuel. Maybe not enough corn, etc.
Well, there is a large crop grown every yesr in the US that pretty much goes totally to waste. I wonder what the square surface area of lawns are. Every year, week by week, it gets harvested by a zillion lawn mowers and then essentially discarded. All those megatons of clippings.
Now, what if each resident, or neighborhood or lawn service took that stuff, ran it through a waring blender or whatever and made cellulosic ethanol. I think all the process requires is a big vat and adding some enzymes. I think DIL makes them.
then regular ferment and distillation with existing home ethonal kits..
Instead of the plasma syngas stuff, maybe Bill could start by selling cellulosic grass clipping kits. If a lot of people started making their own cellulosic eth, then the next logical step would be converting their cars to flex to use it. It could enhance flex market at the same time...
