Sierra Nevada to Turn Beer Waste Into Ethanol With the Efuel100 Micro Fuele


Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend



Last May, we wrote about the E-Fuel’s innovative Efuel100 Micro Fueler, which turns alcohol into ethanol. Southern California brewery Sierra Nevada has announced a partnership with E-Fuel to turn their beer waste into ethanol using the Efuel100 Micro Fueler.

The ethanol will primarily be used to power the on-site vehicles at Sierra Nevada, but it’s possible that the ethanol would be made available for employees or the general public.

Sierra Nevada has already done quite a bit for the environment. According to Tree Hugger, Sierra Nevada sells 1.6 million gallons of beer waste to farmers annually to use as dairy feed.

The goal of a brewery is to make ethanol to begin with. Extraction from spent grains is minimal. I don't see this getting very far.
