BlueFire turns landfills into ethanol

Turning methane rich landfills into ethanol

BlueFire isn't just ready for cellulosic ethanol, but the company is also ready to turn cellulosic materials from landfills into feedstock and ethanol according to company press releases.

"Our technology will convert widely available, inexpensive, organic materials such as agricultural residues, high-content biomass crops, wood residues, and cellulose from landfills into clean, renewable fuels. This process provides low-emissions fuels for cleaner cars and less pollution from our transportation sector. At the same time, our biorefinery located at landfill sites and using landfill cellulose also reduces the much more potent greenhouse gas, methane, by using post-sorted municipal solid waste as feedstock and available landfill gas to generate thermal and electricity needs."

Turning trash into cash is the goal of every weekend garage sale event. BlueFire though, wins hands down by helping the environment and its investors by cleaning up mankind’s waste!!
Does anyone know when BlueFire plans to reach its goal of setting up Ethanol plants on up to 200 sites? Also, how much methane or other greenhouse gas’s, per year, will they eliminate during the life of a landfill operation?
