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.

• 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 require natural gas in the production of ethanol
• The Coskata process requires less water per gallon of ethanol produced than competing processes
