The world is constantly trying to make progress in terms of harnessing energy from alternate sources of energy. While biofuel is in no way the long term answer to the energy needs of the world, in the next few decades it could act as the transitional energy sources between the current fossil fuels and the hydrogen fuel cell technology. Now a Minnesota company claims that it can produce biofuel from recycled beverage which is not fir for further use.
Diversified Ethanol, a subsidiary of Greenbelt Resources Corporation, is focused on producing valuable renewable energy from waste substances that are produced by breweries and soft drink manufacturers. They claim that they can produce fuel from waste beverages and have succeeded in doing that to a large extent. Diversified Ethanol designs and builds small scale, modular ethanol plants that utilize existing waste as feed-stocks which can be converted to ethanol or biofuel.
Using their proprietary technology, breweries, beverage recycling and food processing facilities can now convert their liquid waste into ethanol and a new revenue stream. A 5 million gallon per year plant is currently under construction for a major soda recycler in Southern California and is expected to be in operation by this summer. This is a nice little addition to the world biofuel supply and it uses a simple process as the basis of production. Technology like this enhances the current technology and helps not just rid the planet of waste but also provides clean fuel.
