Cellulosic Ethanol: The Next Biofuel Boom?

BlueFire Ethanol Ethanol Fuels, Inc. (BFRE) is on a roll now. They just completed a crucial step in the construction of its first cellulosic ethanol plant in the U.S. by completing vendor testing of the key pieces of equipment to convert a variety of biomass materials, including municipal wastes in land fills, into the simple sugars used in BlueFire Ethanol's commercially viable production process. They have the funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for its planned ethanol production facility using cellulosic wastes diverted from land fills in Southern California. The facility will produce approximately 17 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year from green waste, wood waste and other cellulosic urban wastes. How wonderful it will be to have a BlueFire Ethanol production facility near every urban waste land fill in the U.S. What a WIN - WIN situation!
