Oct 9th, 2008 | By CentroN | Category: Technology
The biggest news coming out of this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit wasn’t the latest vehicle model being developed by automakers but the announcement of General Motors Corp.’s partnership with Coskata Inc., a relatively unknown cellulosic ethanol company, could enable the production of ethanol for less than $1 a gallon.This groundbreaking development was brokered and massaged for nearly a year by Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology alumnus Wes Bolsen (Elect. Eng., ’00), part owner, chief marketing officer and vice president of business development for Coskata, a two-year-old company with 35 employees based in the Chicago suburb of Warrenville, Ill.
