Ethanol
From the National Non-Food Crops Centre, this factsheet gives an overview of the current and potential market for biorenewable ethanol in chemical applications. It explores the production and uses of bioethanol. Bioethanol can be produced by the fermentation. Starch and sugar feedstocks are also food crops and so significant research effort is focusing on using lignocellulosic feedstocks to produce ethanol. Also considered is an alternative production route to ethanol, via biomass gasification.
