Yle: Old Bread Becomes New Fuel

Companies and industries in the Päijät-Häme region that use grains are the suppliers of raw material for the plant. Much of the waste from processes at bakeries, shops, breweries and distilleries are suitable for ethanol production. Leftover dough and the mix of yeast, sugar and alcohol remaining from beer brewing at the nearby Hartwall brewery go into making fuel.

Up to now, much of this waste has gone into animal feed, landfill or down the sewer. Hartwall's R&D Director Jorma Rasi has been leading the "grain cluster" group providing raw materials to the plant.

It is, if you have a lot of pigs nearby. Otherwise it is an even worst waste to ship it around the country in trucks.
