Coskata Inc. (Warrenville, IL), which has developed a waste-to-ethanol facility in Madison, PA, plans to raise capital in an initial public offering of its stock of up to $100 million. Coskata employs plasma gasification to convert a range of carbonaceous feedstocks such as wood waste, agricultural residues and municipal solid wastes into a synthesis gas (syngas) which it then converts to ethanol via a fermentation process. According to its S-1 statement, Coskata has identified Boligee, AL as the site for its first commercial cellulosic ethanol production facility, referred to as "Flagship", which will be capable of producing 78 million gallons per year of cellulosic ethanol using wood wastes as feedstock.
