Ethanol from renewable agricultural resources as an alternative fuel for vehicles

Alcohol fermentation of biomass containing sugar, starch or cellulose is a promising process for the production of fuel from renewable raw materials. A general view is given of the possibilities known today for the use of ethanol as a fuel - pure or as part of mixtures - in engines. The actual proce...

Summary:Alcohol fermentation of biomass containing sugar, starch or cellulose is a promising process for the production of fuel from renewable raw materials. A general view is given of the possibilities known today for the use of ethanol as a fuel - pure or as part of mixtures - in engines. The actual processes of production and conversion of raw materials to ethanol are described by means of mass and energy balances.
