Scientists have discovered means of turning discarded orange peels and other throwaways into cheap, clean fuel to power vehicles

The News - Scientists at Central Florida University, USA have developed a novel way of producing ethanol from waste products by using plant derived enzyme cocktails to break down waste materials into sugar, which is then fermented into ethanol. This method is greener and less expensive compared to existing methods.
The Good - This method can also be applied to other non-food waste products as well and scientists in this area have termed this discovery as promising.
The Challenge - More work is required to produce this in mass volume and work out how this can be transported and stored before this can be presented as an alternative to gasoline.
