UK - POET Senior Vice President of Science and Technology Mark Stowers will outline POET’s process for commercialisation of cellulosic ethanol and a vision for the future of ethanol this week at the F.O. Licht's 3rd Annual Developing and Commercialising Next Generation Biofuels conference in London.
POET’s Project LIBERTY is a planned 25-million-gallon-per-year cellulosic ethanol plant in Emmetsburg, Iowa. Construction is scheduled to begin this year on the plant, which will use corn cobs as feedstock.
POET has operated a pilot cellulosic ethanol plant in Scotland, South Dakota, since November 2008.
Project LIBERTY will be co-located with the current POET Biorefining - Emmetsburg grain ethanol plant, making both processes more efficient and cost effective.
The model is one look at the potential future for energy production in the United States.
