A new power plant will use banana waste to produce methane via biodigesters. The methane will power the plant itself and also be used to produce ethanol.

This project is one of the award-winning projects of the 2009 IDEAS Energy Innovation Contest for improving energy efficiency and expanding access to renewable energy. The contest is jointly sponsored by GVEP International, GTZ, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Korean Government.

  • if you can make all that lovely biogas, why would you want to turn it into ethanol--loses some energy in the process, and the gas is so much easier to handle and transport than is ethanol.

    weird.

    methane, or cng made from it is a better truck or engine fuel, heating fuel, etc..... why in the world go to ethanol??
