INEOS Bio has begun producing biofuel on a large scale. The process involves creating ethanol from vegetative, wood and yard waste, which is different from the biofuel currently being created from food crops.
Innovative Eco-Friendly Fuel
This is a unique and exciting breakthrough in the push for renewable energy. The final goal is a self-sustaining plant that eliminates more carbon gases than it uses! The initial factory (right) is located in Vero Beach, FL, right next to a landfill. The factory uses methane gas from the landfill to operate, and will eventually use the garbage and other waste for producing fuel. Biofuel is created and leftover energy is sent back to the grid for use, eliminating the need for other sources of energy. The space created by removing wood waste will be used to plant new trees and plants.
Dr. Peter Williams, INEOS Bio CEO, is confident that his company has addressed the challenges put forth in this venture. “We remain convinced that the ability to divert waste materials from communities by converting them into competitively priced renewable fuel and power offers an excellent value proposition. It helps solve waste disposal issues, contributes to the supply of affordable and renewable fuel and energy, creates attractive jobs, and provides a sustainable source of value for the community.”
