No prob. Wood waste, ag "waste" like the entire corn plant may be usable in a opprocess called cellulosis slcohol. Breaks bdown th entire plant, not just the sugar inj the seed. Much more efficient.b May be a real lng term solutiomn. Message 23017650

They also be looking at higher chain alcohols...propanol, butanol.
