Landfill site to convert algae into ethanol
US, New Jersey-based Garden State Ethanol has selected a landfill site in Woodbine, Philadelphia, for the location of a $200 million (€142 million) biofuel plant that would use more than 100 bioreactor tanks to convert algae into ethanol and biodiesel oil.
An environmental study has cleared the site over the threat to any endangered species and a site analysis is planned, nearby rail lines are being upgraded and the company is seeking regulatory approvals from the Pinelands Commission and the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Garden State Ethanol is currently seeking funds for the project. If approved, work on the plant may begin as early as next year.
