Toyota buying into cellulosic ethanol?

Hybrids and ethanol: The future according to Toyota?

According to the GreenCarJournal, a significant part of Toyota's plans for a sustainable future includes hybrid cars. While that might not be surprising, Toyota's focus on cellulosic ethanol, however, is a bit more unexpected.

"In the area of energy research, he noted, Toyota has begun development of cellulosic ethanol."

"Toyota recently selected four plants in various regions to be models for the sustainable plant concept announced earlier this year. The sustainable plants are designed to offer “ground-breaking environmental performance” to use renewable energy; and to contribute to the local community and environment."
