      Hi tpeng.

      I’m not really sure how to answer that question. We’re not hoping to actually power cars using gribble. What we’re aiming to do is learn how gribble eats wood so that we can use that knowledge to set up a factory making bioethanol without the need for gribble.

      Hope that helps, if not I’ll try and explain in a different way.
