Are there any success stories inspired by David Blume's book 'Alcohol Can Be A Gas'?

I read most of this book in 2022 during a permaculture apprenticeship in Costa Rica. I was blown away by the possibility of permaculture based ethanol production. Back in the US now, I still don't know of any success stories of people besides David Blume producing ethanol in a permaculture design system. I hope to get started doing my own experiementing here in North Carolina on a small scale. Wondering if anyone on this forum has direct experience synthesizing permaculture design with ethanol production or knows of anyone who has.
