The Coskata process has no back-end solid waste to dry and handle like enzymatic approaches, and water and wastewater treatment requirements are low due to significant water recycle and energy conservation. The Coskata process uses less than one gallon of fresh water per gallon of ethanol produced, versus 3-5 for corn, and as much as 7 gallons of water per gallon of ethanol for enzymatic routes."
