Biofuels Digest Special Report on Gasification & Pyrolysis: Coskata aims for grand scale in Florida

The deal has not been finalized, but would require one million tons of biomass from 32,500 acres. That’s 51 square miles, or the area within 4 miles of a 100 million gallon refinery. Coskata also revealed plans to Australian media for a 53 Mgy advanced biofuels plant in Victoria, and was seeking a partnership.
