Biofuel Companies Use Alternative Manure Energy for Production and Delivery

Panda Ethanol will build a second 100-million gallon ethanol plant that will use 1 billion pounds of cattle manure to generate the steam needed for production. Panda uses manure to produce its ethanol, but SeQuential Biofuels is taking advantage of other renewable energies and energy-efficient technologies to distribute its alternative fuels. SeQuential Biofuels has opened a new fueling station in Eugene, Oregon, that offers biofuel blends approved for use in all gasoline and diesel vehicles. Among the station's design innovations are 244 solar panels that will provide 30 percent to 50 percent of its annual electricity and 4,800 plants installed in a "living roof" to control rainwater runoff and help cool the building.
