That’s turning the heat up on cellulosic ethanol conversion based on non-food organic stocks such as kudzu. Native to China and eastern Asia, kudzu has established itself as a persistent invasive species in the southeastern United States. It’s the kudzu plant’s robustness which makes it attractive as an ethanol stock, requiring little cultivation and exhibiting resistance to pests and weather extremes. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Toronto estimate kudzu could potentially produce 270 gallons of ethanol per acre — on par with corn, but requiring fewer resources.

When the kudzu ethanol project gets up to full steam, a lot of kudzu is going to disappear. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead Don't forget to watch for the video interview with Mr.Doug Mizell of Agro*Gas Industries LLC, Why Kudzu? Doug is converting kudzu to ethano and his product is called: KUDZUNOL. The interview will be publised shortly. @Michelle Bennett: Thanks for your comments.

Which invasive species will we feed them then? Won't someone think about our nation's kids? But seriously, I think it would be great if we could harvest all the tree-eating scourge and send it to an ethanol plant. Just don't plant any more of "the vine that ate the south"!!

Clothing too. Time will tell. Corn is being used for clothing and biodegradable plastic bottles. Think the government is paying kickbacks for these processes? If you get hungry, you can eat your clothes and wash it down with a plastic bottle. @Dagny: Thanks for the comments. Clothing too. Time will tell.

If kudzu ethanol works out like I think it will, then there is merit with this process. Also, this project is being done with private funds without government subsidizing. The video interview with Mr. Doug Mizell, co-founder of Agro*Gas Industries, LLC. will be posted shortly. Believe me, this project is for real. It is not a scam like corn ethanol. Time will tell, but it gonna take projects like this to break the chains of America's oil addiction. @Dagny: Thanks for the comments.

Corn had problems way before the rains came. There aren't enough corn crops to cover the amount of fuel needed as well as remaining a food staple. It was only a matter of time before we needed to find an alternative. Will be interesting to follow Kudzanol.
