Carrie Ellis & Luke Simpson  Coskata's Lighthouse Facility
Nobody would believe it until they saw it—especially leery
investors. But FlexEthanol™ technology is here today and readily
available.  October 15 was the big day for Coskata Inc. After
more than three years spent refining the technology that has
excited investors like General Motors, the ambitious cellulosic
ethanol company declared itself open for business. A semi-
commercial facility built in Madison, PA is proof that the
conversion of woodchips, municipal waste and plant matter to
ethanol is realistic on an industrial scale. The company is now
ready to demonstrate and license its technology to both ethanol
producers and facilities looking to convert on-site feedstocks
to fuel.  Flexible Feedstocks & Bug Technology Coskata’s new
facility—dubbed Project Lighthouse—is annexed onto a plasma
gasification unit run by the Westinghouse Plasma Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Alter NRG. Origina
