Fuel Conversion: Cellulosic Ethanol
The process uses a byproduct that is normally burned for energy and turns it into ethanol. It will utilize a trademarked process, called American Value Added Pulping (AVAP), to fractionate wood for cellulosic ethanol production, according to Bob Belling, vice president of business development. The company estimates that its process can yield up to 22.6 million gallons of ethanol from a paper mill producing 500 tons of pulp per day.
