Audi partner Joule announces its CO2-recycled ethanol meets US and Euro specs; $40M financing

Green Car Congress

In an optimal location, a plant of this size has the potential to convert 150,000 tonnes of waste CO2 into 25 million gallons of ethanol or 15 million gallons of diesel per year with no reliance on arable land, crops or fresh water. This will lead to the longer-term build-out of a 1,000-acre plant to begin in 2017.
