Bioconversion Assessment Study

Jim Coombs, CPL Scientific Ltd, UK (AIR-CT92-8007)

This AIR Study for DGXII covers the main aspects of bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials and a potential (novel) agricultural crop (sweet sorghum) to bioethanol. It also places the concept of bioethanol in context with alternative routes of bioconversion of biomass, 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.
