Products
| Name: | Ethanol |
| Product URL: | http://www.coskata.com/Ethanol.asp |
| Description: | Ethanol is a clean burning fuel, with the ability to be completely renewable and transform the global fuel market with its many positive attributes: * Ethanol from renewable sources is environmentally friendly, reducing greenhouse gas emission levels substantially * Ethanol is great for the U.S. at large, helping to alleviate dependence on foreign sources of oil and allowing for domestic fuel production * Stimulates the economy and increases the value of domestic resources while creating jobs * Ethanol is great for the consumer because it can reduce fuel costs However, not all biofuels are created equal. Coskata does NOT make ethanol from food products; it makes the fuel from sources like municipal solid waste (trash), agricultural and forest residuals, bagasse and many other carbon containing input materials. Coskata's process technology converts what has frequently reached the end of its useful lifecycle into renewable energy, while being energy positive. |
