Ethanol-Bio-Fuel.com Works to Improve Ethanol Production

[January 26, 2008]  PURCHASE,  N.Y. -- Current ethanol production yields can be increased more than 10 times with the optimization measures developed by the consulting firm Ethanol-Bio-Fuel.com. This firm provides turnkey design-build development services to the ethanol industry.

Ethanol-bio-fuel.com is focused significantly on research, development and process innovation efforts, resulting in new and better ethanol processing and biorefining technologies.

Ethanol-bio-fuel.com developed processes that allow ethanol plants to optimize their production process, resulting in lower energy costs, higher ethanol yields, higher quality byproducts and lower plant emissions.

Ethanol-bio-fuel.com was formed to develop and commercialize feedstock conversion technologies for biofuel producers. The company is applying optimized processes to a variety of second-generation cellulosic materials to create ethanol. By using these low-cost, high-yield feedstocks, biofuel producers will be positioned to compete with petroleum fuel producers on the free market. The company's expertise includes both process conversion and plant design-construction.

Ethanol, in general, has a number of advantages over conventional fuels:

• It comes from a renewable resource, i.e. crops, and not from a finite resource, and the crops it derives from can grow well in the USA (like cereals, sugar beet and maize).

• Another benefit over fossil fuels is in greenhouse gas emissions. The road transport network accounts for about 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, and through the use of ethanol some of these emissions will be reduced, as the growing fuel crops absorb carbon dioxide.

• Blending ethanol with gasoline will help extend the life of the diminishing oil supplies and ensure greater fuel security, avoiding heavy reliance on oil-producing nations.

• With ethanol use encouraged, the rural economy would also receive a boost from growing the necessary crops.

• Ethanol is also biodegradable and far less toxic than fossil fuels.

• In addition, using ethanol in older engines can help reduce the amount of carbon monoxide produced by the vehicle, thus improving air quality.

• Another advantage of ethanol is the ease with which it can be easily integrated into the existing road transport fuel system. In quantities up to 5 percent, ethanol can be blended with conventional fuel without the need of engine modifications.

• Ethanol is produced using familiar methods, such as fermentation.

• It can be distributed using the same gasoline facilities and transportation systems as before.
