I have found a couple of general websites for you. The first talks about a company in Minnesota that has a modular biorefinery and can make at a minimum 500,000 gallons of ethanol per…"
Roadrunner replied to Richard Edmonds's discussion On Site Ethanol Production using crop waste"Is there a website with any additional information?
I would think that you would need to have a certain size to make it worth your time.
2-5 gallons per hour would seem to be too small.

I believe that on-site…See More
Richard Edmonds posted a blog postOn Site Ethanol Processing - Use of crop waste
I would like to start a discussion regarding On-site ethanol processing. I believe that 'decentralized' production of ethanol using waste from farm crops is a niche that has not been exploited. The problem with the large ethanol plants trying to workout the cellulosic ethanol problem is the cost of the enzymes for pre-treatment of the waste products. However, if a farmer can process the waste him/herself on his own farm using his waste or even his corn and then use the ethanol in his/her own…See More
