We are ready to assist the EU by providing the equipment required to produce ethanol in a sustainable way. Our systems are small to medium sized and can be placed near the source of feedstock. We are nearing the time where we will also provide cellulosic processors that do not require the use of enzymes therfore producing ethanol that cost less.
Please contact me to discuss.
