Ethanol Potential in Georgia
Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia is proud that his home state is playing a role in the production of alternative, domestic fuels.
“We’re not only producing ethanol from corn with a couple of facilities in south Georgia, but because of our soils and long growing season, we’re going to be a major participant in cellulosic based ethanol production as well,” Chambliss said at last week’s Southeast Bioenergy Conference.
