Station makes own fuel? Bioethanol plants supply local customers and consume feedstocks from food processors, minimising transport costs

摘要

DRIVING down the street you decide to stop to fill your gas tank. Being an eco-conscious driver, you have a flex-fuel vehicle that can burn E-85, a mix that is 85 per cent ethanol and only 15 per cent gasoline. While you fill your tank, you realise that the building next to the pumps isn't a normal gas station. It's actually an automated bioethanol plant, and the fuel you're pumping is made from local waste feedstock.
