Hi all - I'm new to this board and a holder of STKL stock. STKL management are in Nashville at the 28th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals. They presented this morning. The big news is that they are going to become a producer of celluosic ethanol at their 3 oat fiber facilities, using the 50 million pounds of waste oat hulls they produce. In other words, they will be taking wastes from the current production facilities and turning it into ethanol on-site, so the land, feedstock and some of the pretreatment is already in place, so they should be able to ramp up pretty quickly.

THey will also be an equity investor, owner, and manager of cellulosic ethanol plants and will also receive site license royalties from third parties. They will provide guarantees to licensees that the steam explosion process will work.

This is big news, a big step from the relationship with Abengoa. STKL has been a good stock solely based on the food business. Becoming a big player in C-Etoh will give it a big push.
