The company they've bought into has a novel approach to producing ethanol that could use virtually any carbon source and would decouple that fuel from corn production, potentially making it possible for cities to produce their own transportation fuel using their own MSW, eliminating some of the need for landfilling and the associated long - tail methane and CO2 releases from same.

The key factors determining carbon emissions for corn - based ethanol are (1) whether coal or natural gas is used to power the ethanol plant, (2) whether distillers grains are dried or sold wet, and (3) whether expansion of corn acreage comes mainly from reduced acreage of lower - value crops or if idled land is brought into production.
