Reduced CO2 from straw ethanol

A recent report in PNAS suggests that use of straw ethanol may reduce overall CO2 emissions.

Unfortunately CLME is not in any position to take advantage of this fair wind. Without any evidence of even bench top functioning of the technology. No report back on the fermentation enzymes - see earlier this year and no report on harvesting.

There are plenty of technologies that are 'good to go' on switchgrass - read the article.

CLMEs competitors are able to make speed with this kind of news, while CLMEs sails are flogging. Without some clear news on the viability of very small scale experiments (1 device), some hard data on its output, there is nothing to go on here.

Large plant facility? - build it and they will come?
