October, 2011: Higher Mixed Alcohol Fuel: An Introduction

March, 2010: Green and clean:  Innovators hope to build plant in Montana to turn trees, shoes into fuel

“Bioroot Energy and partner Standard Alcohol Company of America aim to build a plant in western Montana that produces E4 – and revolutionize the way people think about energy, the environment and the economy.
