Last Summer I brought you word of the potential for ethanol made from woody crops such as poplars with a yield of up to 2,000 gallons per acre… per acre. On top of that, the process could result in ethanol cheaper than $1.00 per gallon without any government support.
And today ZeaChem, the company behind this groundbreaking process, announced that they have successfully completed a crucial step in converting wood to ethanol, proving that their core technology works and is commercially viable.
