Realities, opportunities for cellulosic ethanol

Article Abstract:

Iogen Corporation 's criteria when scouting sites for commercial cellulosic was to find a location with abundant supplies of its primary feedstock, agricultural wastes in the form of wheat and barley straw within close proximity. Iogen's efforts to secure feedstock sources in close-proximity highlight an often-overlooked challenge of developing the logistics and infrastructure to collect and ship huge volumes of biomass to biorefineries in moving toward large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol.

Biomass energy fuels corn ethanol production

Article Abstract:

Use of biomass energy for production of ethanol increases the net energy balance which is ratio of amount fuel used for the process to the amount of transportation fuel produced, lowers the cost of ethanol production and facilitates industry's transition to cellulosic ethanol production. By products of the process ammonia is sold as fertilizer to farmers, compost is sold as bedding for livestock and wet cake composed of nonstarch part of corn is sold as feed.

Spinning straw into fuel

Article Abstract:

Major companies and research organizations in America have realized the potential of cellulosic ethanol to replace gasoline as an energy carrier for transportation sector. Cellulosic biomass feedstocks are converted into cellulosic ethanol, which exhibits net energy content three times higher than corn ethanol and emits a low net level of greenhouse gases.
