What does Coskata mean?

Coskata is a beach as well as a wildlife refuge near Nantucket.

Coskata founders were awed by the beauty and natural wonder of the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge during a visit to Nantucket Island.

The complex ecosystem spans more than 1,117 acres, and is home to rare habitats, plants and birds. The Refuge is not only an inspiration for the preservation of our natural world, but a model for Coskata’s ethanol conversion technology. This biological conversion process can take in a multitude of input materials for efficient conversion into ethanol.
