bioethanol

Although bioethanol production releases a lower volume of greenhouse gases than petrol, critics say that it has encouraged deforestation.

It is not the only company with big claims for efficient bioethanol yields.

So has Brazil, especially for bioethanol. Biofuels are near the top of development agenda in the country.

Bioethanol can be blended with conventional fuels to at least 10 per cent (10 per cent ethanol: 90 per cent gasoline).

Bioethanol is taken into account as many states' strategy as a sustainable, portable and renewable energy source.

And commercially because we have the potential to produce large amounts of bioethanol viably across the world.

Liquid biofuels include biodiesel derived from plant oils and bioethanol made from sugarcane, maize and other starchy crops.

Biofuels are renewable, and bioethanol and biodiesel are clean burning.

Squeezing meaningful quantities of bioethanol from this waste is challenging but not impossible.

ZeaChem, based in Lakewood, Colorado, says its process can convert a tonne of feedstock into over 500 litres of bioethanol.

Cars that run on bioethanol have been made in Brazil, where a comprehensive biofuels industry is based on sugar cane.

This paper reviews the development of enzymes for the conversion and lastest progress on bioethanol.

Latin America accounted for five per cent of last year's investment, most of which financed Brazilian bioethanol plants.
