We know cows like it—and by eating certain varieties, they give more milk. So do these grasses' higher sugar content also mean greater ethanol output?
Seventy-five percent of U.S. oranges are grown in Florida. The Sunshine State's citrus processing industry produces nearly all of the orange juice consumed in the country, resulting in up to 5 million tons of citrus waste each year. Options for turning that waste into something useful are limited, so the possibility of using citrus waste as a feedstock for ethanol plants is being closely monitored.
Brazilian ethanol pipeline projects are budding, but not all will bloom.
