Georgia company quits cellulosic ethanol in favor of garbage methane
The company formerly known as Xethanol Corp, is now known as Global Energy Holdings Group. As a renamed and reorganized company, it has dropped its focus on cellulosic ethanol in the face of falling ethanol prices. Instead, the company will take a more wide-ranging approach that includes tapping into landfills to harvest the methane contained within. The methane can be filtered and either used to produce electricity or blended with other natural gas sources. In addition the company will work on biomass including gasification technology and burning the biomass directly for electrical generation. The company will continue to do some work on biomass-to-liquid development as well. A second part of the company called Global Energy Ventures will focus on investments in technology developed by other companies. [Source: Green Fuels Forecast]

"(...) and burning the biomass directly for electrical generation."
