Coskata Unveils Semi-Commercial Feedstock-Flexible Ethanol Facility; Springboard for Full-Scale Commercial Rollout

Green Car Congress

It first gasifies the feedstock to syngas (CO and H 2 ), then uses proprietary microorganisms—licensed from Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma—to convert simultaneously both CO and H 2 into ethanol. Scale up lots of times makes things better—there is more residence time to convert the gas into ethanol.
