\"\"<\/a>The first commercial cellulosic ethanol<\/a> (ethanol made from non-edible parts of plants, grass, crop waste etc) will start production in 2013, and it will \u00e2\u20ac\u0153open the floodgates\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for this type of fuel, said Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

POET, a biofuel producer building a plant in Iowa that will produce 25 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year, recently secured a $105 million loan guarantee<\/a> from the US Department of Energy and hopes the plant will come online in 2013. The project is called Project Liberty and is located in Emmetsburg.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg, although there is a 2007 mandate to blend cellulosic ethanol with gasoline, the Environmental Protection Agency had had to reduce the target figure by more than 90 per cent due to a shortage in supply.<\/p>\n

POET\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s director of research Greg Hartgraves told Bloomberg ethanol investors need consistent policies and reassurance from the government that mandates won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be scrapped.<\/p>\n
