Is anyone on the list involved in the making of ethanol? If so are you producing it for personal use?
Selling on a small scale? If selling, how did you get around the testing issues that forces out Thomas Leue from Ashford to close his fryer-oil refinery after the Environmental Protection Agency refused to allow him to register his biodiesel fuel and sell it to power vehicles unless he first tests its health effects? Are you using at still or are you making ethanol from cellolose by acid hydrolysis? >From the archive I saw: "Producing ethanol from cellolose by acid hydrolysis is a long-established method still used all over the world, and it's still the only method available to backyarders, though that could change anytime with new enzymes and new techniques being developed." So are there any backyarders here using this method? If so, how is it working for you? Has this changed with new enzymes and or techniques as the original post implied are are we still waiting? If using a still, is corn the main feedstock for "backyarders"? _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainablelorgbiofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (70,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
