Friends, 
       Is there a simple, economic path, to convert a significant amount of 
biomass material to Ethanol, First converting to Ethane, then converting to 
Ethanol?  Would Gasification by Pyrolisis or Taylor made Anaerobic Fermentation 
work best? I can use all of the by- product Methane.
        Ethanol seems to be where it's all going these days. Would cellulose 
laden biomass be better in the gasification process, and nitrogen laden 
biomass be better in the fermentation? Could nitrogen be extracted from the process 
as fertilizer? 
        I wanna build a refinery to fuel my small business.  Has anybody seen 
the price of fertilizer lately?
