Market for Cellulose Ethanol Competitive Business Bundle

New reports and production facilities map provides in-depth analysis of the market potential for cellulose ethanol. Political instability in the Middle East, high oil prices and America's quest for energy independence have resulted in a push towards the development of alternative fuel sources by governments and energy industry players. Given its environmental and economic benefits, together with the vast availability of biomass and feedstock, ethanol is seen as a viable alternative to fossil fuel. Energy Business Reports has released a Cellulose Ethanol Market Potential Competitive Business bundle that includes 4 cutting-edge information products, to guide the industry into a new energy economy through the use and production of cellulosic ethanol.

(PRWEB) January 21, 2008 -- Political instability in the Middle East, high oil prices and America's quest for energy independence have resulted in a push towards the development of alternative fuel sources by governments and energy industry players. Given its environmental and economic benefits, together with the vast availability of biomass and feedstock, ethanol is seen as a viable alternative to fossil fuel. Energy Business Reports has released a Cellulose Ethanol Market Potential Competitive Business bundle that includes 4 cutting-edge information products, to guide the industry into a new energy economy through the use and production of cellulosic ethanol.

Cellulose ethanol can be produced from various types of biomass including waste from urban, agricultural and forestry sources. Unlike normal ethanol, which is made from sugars and starches, cellulose ethanol is produced from cellulose, which is largely a byproduct. It can be derived from agricultural residues such as wheat straw or grass seed straw; forestry residues such as sawdust; municipal solid waste; pulp and paper mill sludge; or other cellulose biomass feedstocks using an acid hydrolysis technique. However, it is only recently that cost-effective technologies for producing ethanol from cellulose have emerged.

By the end of 2005, the annual capacity of the US ethanol sector topped 4.4 billion gallons, and consumption reached 2.7 billion gallons. If this trend continues and policy incentives support ongoing growth, ethanol demand is expected to grow at the rate mandated by the 2005 Energy Bill and reach 7.5 billion gallons by 2012. However, there are some technological and economic obstacles to the full commercialization of ethanol production, and several important issues must be resolved before the US can fulfill its vision of energy security.

Taking an example from our South American neighbors, Brazil is the world's biggest producer and exporter of ethanol, developing 282,000 bbl/d in 2005. More that fifty percent of all cars in Brazil are powered by "flex-fuel." This means that they can operate on 100 percent ethanol or an ethanol-gasoline mix. How can America learn from Brazil's success? A Case Study on Brazil's market growth is featured in the report included in the Business Bundle.
