I think it might be a bit tough for them to get the sugars out of the plant material. I would have thought that instead of an ethanol plant they would have gone with a methanol plant.

ETHANOL IS NOT A GOOD FUEL! I don’t care what it’s made from, (At best this reduces the food cost form making the junk from corn.) If you insist on fermenting sugar into alchol as a fuel at least make the better fuel butyl alchol. Then there is the question of what happens when companies that are recycling their cardboard get wind of this and decide they can make higher profits by making fuel? More trees will be cut down to meet the demand for cardboard. I agree this is a step in the right direction not useing corn to make fuel, and there are ways to make paper products from better more sustainable sources, bamboo, and hemp, but until the price is brought low enough most will not use them. Yea is says waste products but how is that being assured? What says that a recycling facility that has large amounts of cardboard and paper will not sell it to the fuel makers if they are paying more for it?
