FPL Group, Boca start-up join in ethanol fuel project -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com: "A tiny Boca Raton start-up got a big boost on Thursday from FPL Group, which will partner with Citrus Energy LLC to make ethanol from discarded orange peels.

The two firms will build a first-of-its-kind plant designed to produce 4 million gallons of ethanol a year to be blended with gasoline for vehicle fuel.

'It's great news,' said David Stewart, a former computer engineer who founded Citrus Energy last year. He said that the state now has very little ethanol in its gas. 'This would be a start in Florida.'"
