Yet it’s not just sauvignon blanc, merlot and chardonnay that find themselves in the middle of a scientific tug-of- war.

The facility, developed by Mote of Los Angeles, would rely on the mounds of agricultural waste produced on the state’s sprawling almond orchards and other types of farms. It would heat leftovers like tree trimmings and fruit pits to temperatures above 1,500 ˚F, hot enough to convert the biomass into hydrogen
