Glue from Ethanol Leftovers May Be Worth More than the Fuel Itself

Everyone has been raving about ethanol, ethanol, ethanol for the past 2 years. In fact, the State of Illinois has given the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs a million dollars to study the economic impact of this ethanol gold rush. I personally think that the big players, i.e. Monsanto, Cargill, ADM are waiting for all the little developers to get their plants built and then they will come in and buy them out for nickles on the dollar.

Personally, I think the primary revenue source should be from the by-products and not from the ethanol. You can use DDG's and corn resin for composite manufacturing. In fact, DDG in an alternative form called gluton, has been fed to livestock for over 10 years.

So I have a good friend out there that is always digging for information and she just forwarded this article to me. Glue! Check it out here at GreenBiz News
