  • Coskata, Inc. is a Warrenville, Illinois based energy company researching the production of cellulosic ethanol from woodchips. Costaka's process combines both biological and thermochemical processing. The estimated cost of production via this technology is under $1 per gallon, as opposed to corn-based ethanol costing approximately $1.40 per gallon Coskata announced in April 2008, that the company would begin producing ethanol on a small scale at a plant being built near Pittsburgh, PA. With a capacity of about 40,000 gallons annually, the fuel will be used by General Motors to be tested in their vehicles. The pilot plant is being constructed in a modular design by Zeton Inc. in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. A full scale production plant capable of producing 50 to 100 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol is expected to go online in 2011. Coskata recently signed a deal with US Sugar Corporation to build a cane-waste biofuels conversion facility in Florida.
