In Denmark, Inbicon was the ethanol supplier for the winning car in the Urban Concepts class of the 2011 Shell Eco-marathon in Europe, setting a new record at 1,197 miles per gallon (509 km/l), adjusted for energy equivalence with gasoline. The New Ethanol, as Inbicon calls its made-from-straw biofuel, has been produced by the Kalundborg […]
In Denmark, Inbicon says its recent study shows that corn stover and wheat straw supply is dense enough in North America to be economical as a feedstock for its biomass-to-ethanol technology. Inbicon’s latest study, analyzing U.S. corn biomass collection practices, was done by Larry Johnson. Johnson’s findings detail the complex logistics of specifying, purchasing, harvesting, […]
In this November story, the Digest covered the opening of the Inbicon cellulosic ethanol plant in Kalundborg, Denmark, which briefly became the largest single producer of cellulosic ethanol with its 1.4 Mgy (demonstration scale) production volume. Digest readers, 60 percent of whom reside in the US, have generally overlooked foreign developments, but when Great River […]
