Biomass-to-ethanolGerald OndreyChemical Engineering
This report describes one potential biochemical ethanol conversion process, conceptually based upon core conversion and process integration research at NREL. The overarching process design converts corn stover to ethanol by dilute-acid pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, and co-fermentation. Building on...
The heat, in turn, can be used to run generators in a power plant to produce electricity. A number of existing power facilities burn grass, wood, or other kinds of biomass. ethanolEthanol gas fuel pump delivering the E85 mixture to an automobile in Washington state, U.S. (more) Liquid ...
The objective of this research is to demonstrate on a laboratory scale the technical feasibility of the direct microbial conversion of pretreated wood to ethanol. During the first year of this contract, we investigated the feasibility of biologically delignifying wood with C. pruinosum and directly...

As principles of ethanol fermentation have been elucidated, industrial production of ethanol has been developed for applications in beverages, cosmetics, industrial solvents, and pharmaceuticals. Presently, bioethanol is produced primarily from corn starch or sugar cane. As these raw materials are in ...

10d). Together, these results demonstrate that integration of callose into the secondary cell wall leads to large increases in both saccharification and bioethanol production. In constitutive and inducible materials, the gains in sugar release and consequently, ethanol, are clearly greater than any ...
