The production and conversion of biomass into ethanol through Coskata's gasification and biofermentation process has the ability to be net energy positive and highly efficient with water.
- Coskata's patented ethanol separation technology reduces separation energy requirements by more than 50%
- The Coskata process can take in a wide variety of biomass input materials with very little fossil fuels used to grow, harvest, or transport. Sources requiring minimal irrigation can also be utilized
- The Coskata process can run under low temperature and low pressure conditions, allowing for the recovery of energy from the hot synthesis gas coming out of the gasifier
- After the organisms ferment the syngas into ethanol, the remaining syngas can be burned for the production of even more useful energy
- A Coskata plant does not need to use natural
gas or fossil fuels in the production of ethanol
- The Coskata process requires <1 gallon of fresh water per gallon of ethanol produced
