Using bacteria to convernt cellulose directly to butanol.

The bacteria is being called TU-103.
There are other aerobic and anerobic digesters currently being used to produce "biogas" which is anything from methane to butanol.
The Fair Oaks dairy is the only operation I'm familure with that does so in order to be fully independant.
Very cool stuff. This is the kind of technology that will prove to be a point of singularity in Energy production.
