    Also being developed is Algae production from the waste products of corn ethanol and sweet sorghum ethanol refineries (Green Plains and GreenShift). Algae will be grown on CO2, waste heat, and nutrient rich waste water effluent. More efficient, highly sustainable and profitable first generation ethanol. The Real Next Generation Ethanol is a solution of 65% ethanol and 35% water, reformed inexpensively, onboard the vehicle, into hydrogen on demand. Ethanol-water reformers adapt to internal combustion engines, as demonstrated by Chinese automaker DongFeng. Onboard ethanol-water to hydrogen reforming is a perfect match for fuel cells, which are 3 times more efficient than ICEs. When 35% water is left in solution at the ethanol refinery, the distillation cost is cut in half. You get cheaper ethanol. The reformer not only strips all the hydrogen from the ethanol, it also strips half the hydrogen from the water. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles will be charged onboard by small hydrogen on demand fuel cells powered by ethanol-water. Hydrogen power with no hydrogen infrastructure needed.
