Bioconversion assessment study.

Author(s) : Eur. Comm., COOMBS J.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This report covers the main aspects of bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials and a potential agricultural crop (sweet sorghum) to bioethanol. It also places the concept of bioethanol in context with alternative routes of bioconversion of biomass (especially those depending on the activity of plant cell wall degrading enzymes) as well as with conventional routes to bioethanol from sugar beet and wheat. It covers technology, economics, energy balances and sparing effects related to the release of fossil-fuel derived carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
