Gulf Ethanol owns the exclusive rights to this technology for the processing of ethanol feed-stocks and will partner with Meridian for engineering, design and implementation of the technology.
JT Cloud, CEO of Gulf Ethanol, said: The future of ethanol as a fuel additive and as an alternative to imported oil depends on developing large-scale ethanol production from cellulose, rather than food stocks. Cellulose is the most plentiful plant substance on earth. Converting this much cheaper biomass into ethanol gives us a real option for reducing a portion of our dependence on foreign oil.
