(This is not a plug for them necessarily, just my comments based on my own use of their magazine and site for excellent insight into areas I am interesed in). Here's a good bookmark - it will take you to their current issue -- http://www.biomassmagazine.com/issue.jsp

The article referenced above can also be found on another Website - http://ethanolproducer.com/article.jsp?article_id=3883 - Ethanol Producer Magazine is another one of those references that we subscribe to and use their Website for research current information and to learn more about the production of ethanol. Both magazines and Websites are the creation of BBI International Media. They also operate & produce the Website and magazines http://biodieselmagazine.com/ and http://distillersgrainsquarterly.com/ that may be of interest to you.
