A researcher in alcohol fuel and renewable energy generally, first with Mother Earth News and now with BackHome Magazine, Freudenberger urges readers to try this at home. He contends that it is entirely possible to maintain a completely self-sufficient, self-sustaining environmentally responsible operation that produces not only fuel but also valuable co-products that can be sold, bartered, or recycled into the operation. Among his topics are federal and state requirements, do-it-yourself economics, equipment, feedstocks and raw materials, fermentation, distillation, alcohol as an engine fuel, and case studies.
