20. Biomass Ethanol • Gasification/catalytic conversion of syngas to ethanol • Gasification/fermentation • Enzymatic hydrolysis/fermentation • Acid/base hydrolysis/fermentation

21. Cellulose Ethanol Pilot Plants • Canada - Iogen – Demonstration plant in operation, negotiating for best site • Spain - Abengoa – 5 million liter/year cellulosic plant in Europe with a 200 million liter/yr barley to ethanol plant • China – China Resources Ethanol, Harbin, China • USA - Abengoa – corn stover pilot plant in York, NE • USA - DuPont – developing corn stover to chemicals technology

22. Cellulose Ethanol Pilot Plants • USA - Cargill-Dow – PLA plant in Blair, NE using wet mill sugars; working on biomass as sugar source • Japan - Arkenol and JGC – BlueFire Technologies plant in Izumi, Japan • USA - Williams/Purdue University– Conversion of fiber in DDG to ethanol

23. Biomass Ethanol • Biomass ethanol is aggressively being developed (5-10 years) • This will ease pressure on grain demand in the years ahead • Major portion of ethanol produced from cellulose within next 15-20 years • Increase in grain prices acts as an incentive to move towards biomass • Some likely cellulose feedstocks are poplar trees and field residues

24. Biomass Utilization • Fuels – like biodiesel, fuel ethanol, biogas • Chemicals – chemical intermediataries • Heat & Power – gasification, anaerobic digestion
