Doubled Yield For Bio-Fuel From Waste
“Dutch chemical company DSM announced a new process for production of ethanol from agricultural waste. Most bio-fuel ethanol now is produced from food crops such as corn and sugar cane. Ethanol produced from cellulose would use waste products such as wood chips, citrus peel, and straw. The new process is claimed to increase the yield by a factor of two compared to existing processes, thanks to new enzymes and special yeast strains.”

If we could produce ethanol from the local garbage dump then every county could produce ethanol from the waste material reducing landfill costs and producing fuel.
There is a lot of raw material out there that waste management companies could use as feed stock for an ethanol plant.
