NEW YORK, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Did you know the answer to reducing
petroleum dependency and producing environmentally efficient fuel may be
right in your kitchen trash? Household garbage, old tires, and even plant
stalk after harvest all contain carbon which can be turned into fuel for
our cars and trucks, cheaply and efficiently.

At this year's NAIAS, General Motors is announcing their partnership
with Coskata, as they believe in taking the first step toward producing a
new biofuel. Called A Next Generation Ethanol Company, they have patented
microorganisms and bioreactor designs that produce ethanol for less than a
dollar a gallon, about half the cost of producing a gallon of gasoline.
This new technology also reduces CO2 emissions up to 84 percent compared to
gasoline.
The partnership builds on the automaker's 25 years of biofuel research
and approach to providing energy alternatives for automobiles.
