$1 a Gallon Ethanol Getting Closer-Plasma Power! Coskata’s gasification process uses a plasma “torch” to gasify biomass to syngas. The syngas is then converted to ethanol using proprietary micro-organisms. Coskata leverages proprietary microorganisms and efficient bioreactor designs in a three-step conversion process that can turn virtually any carbon-based feedstock into ethanol, from anywhere in the [...]

Heating the Northeast with Renewable Biomass Roughly 30% of the energy used in the U.S. is for heating and cooling, and a large proportion of the energy used for heat comes from burning oil. While using renewables to generate electricity and solve transportation issues (the other 70% of the equation) receives the lion’s share of [...]
