Requirements for Each Source of Ethanol
Papernol over Ethanol/ Gas
No Transportation or Farm land Lower Energy cost Lower Dollar Cost
Takes Advantage of Waste Local: No Foreign Out Sourcing Improves Local Economy Fills in Gaps in Bio-Ethanol Map

Preparation andHydrolysis
Fermentation Purification
Three Steps to Papernol
Acid Hydrolysis Dilute acid to generate glucose from
cellulose Fermentation
Converting Glucose into Ethanol Distillation
Separating Ethanol from water

Visioning the Energy FutureVisioning the Energy Future
25x’25 By 2025, America’s farms, ranches and forests will
provide 25% of the total energy consumed in the U.S.while continuing to produce safe, abundant and affordable food, feed and fiber
20 in 10 Goal in President’s 2007 State of the Union Address to replace
20% of our transportation fuels with renewable sources by 2017
30 by ’30 DOE’s 2002 “Vision”: goal of replacing 30% of our energy use
with renewable sources in 30 years 36 bgy RFS by 2022
New legislation proposed to increase the RFS from 7.5 bgy in 2012 to 36 bgy in 10 more years, 21 bgy from advanced ethanol sources
