Changing the Game -- Coskata's efficient, affordable and flexible ethanol conversion process has significant advantages over alternative approaches:

Efficient

• Microorganisms are specific to ethanol production - Proprietary microorganisms do what syngas conversion via chemical catalysis cannot, which is produce predominately ethanol. Extremely energy efficient, Coskata microorganisms can extract almost the entire energy value available in the incoming syngas stream, producing approximately 100 gallons of ethanol per dry ton of biomass input material.
• Environmentally superior - The Coskata process reduces carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 80-90% when input materials such as grass, agricultural waste or woodchips are used (Argonne National Laboratory). In addition, Coskata’s net water usage is one of the most efficient benchmarks in the industry using less than half the water required to get to a gallon of gasoline. 
• Simple and energy positive design - Coskata's process can produce up to 7.7 times more energy than the fossil energy input  used to make the ethanol. Corn-derived ethanol has an energy factor of approximately 1.3 times the fossil energy input (Argonne National Laboratory).

Affordable

Lowest production cost target in the industry - Coskata's process delivers feedstock flexible ethanol at the lowest cost target in the industry, which will be directly competitive with gasoline.

Flexible

Enzyme independent - Not reliant on expensive enzymes or chemicals, Coskata's pre-treatment costs are significantly lower than any non-gasification based technology available today, and do not require a chemical catalyst to produce ethanol

Feedstock independent - Virtually any carbon-containing input materials can be converted to syngas, including energy crops such as switchgrass and miscanthus; wood chips, forestry products, corn stover, bagasse and other typical agricultural wastes; municipal waste and industrial organic waste like petroleum coke.

Geographic flexibility - With feedstock flexibility, Coskata can build plants in almost any country around the globe. Coskata will be able to reduce dependence on foreign oil in regions of the world such as North America, Latin America, Asia, and Australia.
