Cellulosic Ethanol Production Important To Rural America

Corn HarvestThis is a load of corn cobs being unloaded after they were just harvested at the POET Project LIBERTY Field Day.

We watched several different equipment manufacturers display their latest products to handle collecting the corn cobs for use in cellulosic ethanol production. I’ve got video clips of them in action which I’ll be posting in coming days. In the meantime you can see photos in the photo album which I just updated.

Before we got started I interviewed POET CEO Jeff Broin about what we should expect. He emphasizes the importance of cellulosic ethanol production and what utilizing corn cobs as a biomass will mean to farmers and rural America. You can listen to my interview with Jeff below or watch the video:
