Print This Page Gulf Ethanol Announces Third-Generation Technology
HOUSTON, TEXAS - Gulf Ethanol Corporation, an alternative energy company focused on the development of the cellulosic ethanol industry, has brought on line its third-generation feedstock pre-processing unit, which uses sawdust, grass clippings and switchgrass."With each development of the technology, we become more efficient in our processing," said Bill Carmichael, Gulf's President.
Gulf is now expanding its testing protocols beyond sorghum and corn to sawdust, switchgrass and grass clippings.
The company feels each of these feedstocks has potential application for ethanol production.
"As we test and improve on our technology, we develop slightly different configurations and protocols for each feedstock due to its inherent characteristics," Mr. Carmichael said.
"By November, we plan to complete the initial testing and begin design of a full-scale commercial processing unit," he concluded.
