General Motors announced a partnership with Illinois-based Coskata, a company that is able to produce ethanol from multiple sources.
Excerpt:
The partnership seems practical -- for two examples, Coskata can make ethanol from some of the residual materials in vehicle recycling (helping GM plants achieve zero-waste status) and GM is helping Coskata apply for Department of Energy funding in February.
GM's financial support is going to help Coskata get its pilot plant up and running within a few short weeks and a commercial-scale demonstration operational by the end of the year (fuel from this plant will be used at the Milford proving grounds). The goal is to have a 100 million gallon per year plant by early 2011.
