This provision is particularly necessary for users of Brazil's southern and central regions, where temperatures normally drop below 15 °C (59 °F) during the winter. [206] The use of ethanol-only vehicles has also reduced CO emissions drastically.

Another 15 African countries have shown interest in receiving Brazilian technical aid to improve sugarcane productivity and to produce ethanol efficiently. [18], The Brazilian car manufacturing industry developed flexible-fuel vehicles that can run on any proportion of gasoline (E20-E25 blend) and hydrous ethanol (E100). For example, Harun and Danquah [9] explored the effect of acid pretreatment on the bioethanol production from microalgae by using a central composite design approach. Among others, the study analyzed the case of Brazilian Cerrado being converted for sugarcane ethanol production. Higher biomass production possible with mixed species of perennial grasses. Also, as a result of the credit crunch caused by the financial crisis of 2007–2010, the expansion of the Brazilian ethanol industry has not being able keep up pace with the accelerated growth of the flex fuel fleet. The United States included “Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS)” as law in their energy policy in 2005. The bioethanol is currently produced by fermentation of either sugar or starchy biomass depending on their availability. Sugarcane is the oldest feedstock for bioethanol, which has been used for bioethanol production since 6000 BCE. While biodiesel production systems have been marketed to home and business users for many years, commercialized ethanol production systems designed for end-consumer use have lagged in the marketplace. The analysis also found that sugarcane bagasse cogeneration accounts for 3% of the total Brazilian energy matrix. Two million short tons (1,786,000 long tons; 1,814,000 t) of petroleum-derived ethanol are produced annually. There are 15 additional plants dedicated exclusively to sugar production. Generalized scheme for the fermentation of glucose to lactic acid bacteria (Caplice and Fitzgerald 1999). Ethanol production depends on development of cellulosic technology. During that period, ethanol production from corn and blending with gasoline gained attention due to the low price of the corn feedstock. Sugarcane production in the United States occurs in Florida, Louisiana, Hawaii, and Texas. This high miscibility with water means that ethanol cannot be efficiently shipped through modern pipelines, like liquid hydrocarbons, over long distances. [4][119][120][121] In 2011 the U.S. Congress decided not to extend the tariff and the tax credit, and as a result both ended on December 31, 2011. The heavy fraction consisting of mainly higher aromatics was noticed at 638 K [56]. Found inside – Page 110[32] Y. Lin, S.

The local government objective is for the city's entire bus fleet, which is made of 15,000 diesel-powered buses, to use only renewable fuels by 2018. [209], Regarding social responsibility the ethanol production sector maintains more than 600 schools, 200 nursery centers and 300 day care units, as legislation requires that 1% of the net sugar cane price and 2% of the net ethanol price must be devoted to medical, dental, pharmaceutical, sanitary, and educational services for sugar cane workers. N2) to remove the adsorbed water. "[237][238], A World Bank research report published in July 2008[239] found that from June 2002 to June 2008 "biofuels and the related consequences of low grain stocks, large land use shifts, speculative activity and export bans" accounted for 70-75% of total price rises. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. By 2012 a total of 41 ethanol plants out of about 400 have closed and the sugar-cane crop yields dropped from 115 tonnes per hectare in 2008 to 69 tonnes per hectare in 2012. The AFS125 Advanced Fuel System[30] from Allard Research and Development is capable of producing both ethanol and biodiesel in one machine, while the E-100 MicroFueler[31] from E-Fuel Corporation is dedicated to ethanol only. The yield of liquid hydrocarbons decreases with increasing temperature due to cracking reactions. Four research programs, two private and two public, are devoted to further genetic improvement. [128][129][130][131][132] On June 16, 2011, the U.S. Congress approved an amendment to the economic development bill to repeal both the tax credit and the tariff on ethanol, and though this bill has an uncertain future, it is considered a signal that the tax credits will not be renew when they expire at the end of 2011. In São Paulo state growth took place in abandoned pasture lands. [115] Since 2004 Brazilian exporters have as their main customers the United States, Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Jamaica, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria, Mexico, India, and South Korea. During ethanol fermentation, glucose and other sugars in the corn (or sugarcane or other crops) are converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. [17] Petroleum derived ethanol (synthetic ethanol) is chemically identical to bio-ethanol and can be differentiated only by radiocarbon dating.[18]. [99][100] This trend is demonstrated by the increases in agricultural production that took place in São Paulo state between 1990 and 2004, where coffee, orange, sugarcane and other food crops were grown in an almost constant area. [89], As sugar and ethanol share the same feedstock and their industrial processing is fully integrated, formal employment statistics are usually presented together. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. With increasing attention being paid to saving energy, many methods have been proposed that avoid distillation altogether for dehydration. [25], Recent research has demonstrated that complete dehydration prior to blending with gasoline is not always necessary. In the fermentation process sugars are transformed into ethanol by addition of yeast. [110], There are several improvements to the industrial processes, such as adopting a hydrolysis process to produce ethanol instead of surplus electricity, or the use of advanced boiler and turbine technology to increase the electricity yield, or a higher use of excess bagasse and harvest trash currently left behind in the fields, that together with various other efficiency improvements in sugarcane farming and the distribution chain have the potential to allow further efficiency increases, translating into higher yields, lower production costs, and also further improvements in the energy balance and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Nowadays, commercial-scale production of bioethanol is carried out using food-competing crops such as corn in the United States, sugarcane in Brazil, and wheat and sugar beets in Europe (c.f. 21.3). N.S. Agricultural feedstocks are considered renewable because they get energy from the sun using photosynthesis, provided that all minerals required for growth (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) are returned to the land. The year 2017 was considered a good year for cellulosic ethanol production, and further development forecasts are supported by the need to meet the goals of the Paris agreement [59]. Table 21.2. [33][34] As a response to this crisis, the Brazilian government began promoting bioethanol as a fuel. [125][126] Also a 2010 study by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the costs to American taxpayers of using a biofuel to reduce gasoline consumption by one gallon are $1.78 for corn ethanol and $3.00 for cellulosic ethanol. In practice more than 90% of the mills provide health and dental care, transportation and collective life insurance, and over 80% provide meals and pharmaceutical care. Ethanol-blended fuel is widely used in Brazil, the United States, and Europe (see also Ethanol fuel by country). [78] There are claims that land for ethanol production is acquired through deforestation, while others have observed that areas currently supporting forests are usually not suitable for growing crops. [220][221][222] The installation of new ethanol production plants will not be permitted on these locations, and only existing plants and new ones with environmental licensed already approved before September 17, 2009, will be allowed to remain operating in these sensitive areas. [109], Energy-use associated with the production of sugarcane ethanol derives from three primary sources: the agricultural sector, the industrial sector, and the distribution sector. [86], As ethanol yields improve or different feedstocks are introduced, ethanol production may become more economically feasible in the US. Nissan expects to commercialize its technology by 2020.[60]. However, more research is required to establish the extent and direct consequences, if any, on health. Biogas is formed when organic material is degraded without the presence of oxygen. High-input annual grass. [188] Recent assessments carried out in 2009 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)[189] and the California Air Resources Board (CARB)[190][191] included the impact of indirect land use changes (ILUC) as part of the lifecycle analysis of crop-based biofuels. [140][141], Most automobiles in Brazil run either on hydrous alcohol (E100) or on gasohol (E25 blend), as the mixture of 25% anhydrous ethanol with gasoline is mandatory in the entire country. For E10 it is about 0.5% v/v at 21 °C and decreases to about 0.23% v/v at −34 °C .[29]. Biogas consists of CO2, H2S, methane and traces of other gases, and can be burned in a boiler or engine for energy. [152][153], Sugarcane cultivation requires a tropical or subtropical climate, with a minimum of 600 mm (24 in) of annual rainfall. 21.2). As the U.S. is encouraging "new ethanol production in other countries, production that could directly compete with U.S.-produced ethanol". The complexity of lignocellulose materials may require development of different microorganisms for different applications, so that ‘tailor-made’ strains for different lignocellulose raw materials may be more efficient than one ‘super-microorganism’ for any raw material. [106] Despite this cost differential in production, the U.S. did not import more Brazilian ethanol because of U.S. trade barriers corresponding to a tariff of 54-cent per gallon, first imposed in 1980, but kept to offset the 45-cent per gallon blender's federal tax credit that is applied to ethanol no matter its country of origin. Ethanol production depends on development of cellulosic technology. In the agricultural sector, 35.98 GJ of energy are used to plant, maintain, and harvest one hectare (10,000 m2) of sugarcane for usable biofuel. [53] However, environmentalists worry that India's increased target for ethanol blending could incentivise water-intensive crops such as sugarcane and rice, and suggest that the government should focus on lower-water intensity crops such as millets since India is already facing an acute water shortage.[54]. Found inside – Page 196Food Sci Biotechnol 22:441–448 Lin Y, Tanaka S (2006) Ethanol fermentation from biomass resources: current state and prospects. This approach would have a smaller carbon footprint because the amount of energy-intensive fertilisers and fungicides remain the same for higher output of usable material. Distillery facilities require about 45 MJ to operate, leaving a surplus energy supply of 19.3 MJ, or 5.4 kWh. [134][135][136], Source: Agência Nacional do Petróleo (ANP). The assessment calls on governments for more open markets in biofuels and feedstocks in order to improve efficiency and lower costs. The key processes for industrial conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol. Small scale, low cost units have also been common in developing countries for the simultaneous degradation of household waste and production of gas for cooking. [56] Registrations of flex-fuel cars and light trucks represented 87.0% of all passenger and light duty vehicles sold in the country in 2012. The first production car running entirely on ethanol was the Fiat 147, introduced in 1978 in Brazil by Fiat. 8.1 illustrates the history of bioethanol production from a different feedstock. Found inside – Page 32Ethanol fermentation from biomass resources: current state and prospects. Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 69 (6), 627À642. Lu ̈, F., Ji, J., Shao, L., He, P., ... [104], Some environmentalists, such as George Monbiot, have expressed fears that the marketplace will convert crops to fuel for the rich, while the poor starve and biofuels cause environmental problems. [28][29] This level of ethanol fuel consumption had not been reached since the end of the 1980s, at the peak of the Pró-Álcool Program. This is equivalent to 150% of the current land used for these crops in EU-25, which is approximately 6.4 Mha . "[216] The analysis also showed that intensification of cattle ranching, combined with efforts to promote high-yielding oil crops are required to achieve effective carbon savings from biofuels in Brazil, "while still fulfilling all food and bioenergy demands. It can be made from very common crops such as hemp, sugarcane, potato, cassava and corn. "[203] The study also concluded that despite the already low emission intensity, urban transportation is responsible for 51% of CO2 emissions within the Brazilian transport sector in 2008, and mainly originate in the growing use of private cars, traffic congestion and inefficient public transportation systems. Initially, the fermentation broth containing 8–10 wt% ethanol was concentrated to 90 wt%. Further dehydration is normally done by addition of chemicals, up to the specified 99.7°GL in order to produce anhydrous ethanol,[104] which is used for blending with pure gasoline to obtain the country's E25 mandatory blend. The increase of the index total recoverable sugar (TRS) from sugarcane has been very significant, 1.5% per year in the period 1977 to 2004, resulting in an increase from 95 to 140 kg/ha. Bioethanol is an alternative to fossil transportation fuel. After fermentation, the mash is heated so that the ethanol evaporates. However, using lignocellulosic materials adds complexity to the process of bioethanol production for reasons aforementioned. † experimental, not in commercial production, All biomass goes through at least some of these steps: it needs to be grown, collected, dried, fermented, distilled, and burned. These factors limit bioethanol as gasoline blend up to 15 wt% [3]. Bioethanol reduces air pollution thanks to its cleaner emissions, and also contributes to mitigate global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Biomass has traditionally been used as fuel for energy production in the form of wood, charcoal or animal waste. The amount of carbon dioxide produced at the tail pipe. Bioethanol is a high octane number biofuel which is produced from fermentation of corn, potatoes, grain (wheat, barley and rye), sugar beet, sugar cane and vegetable residues. It is claimed the process can produce 6,000 U.S. gallons per acre (5,000 imperial gallons per acre; 56,000 liters per hectare) per year compared with 400 US gallons per acre (330 imp gal/acre; 3,700 L/ha) for corn production.[19]. [185][208][209] A study commissioned by the Dutch government in 2006 to evaluate the sustainability of Brazilian bioethanol concluded that there is sufficient water to supply all foreseeable long-term water requirements for sugarcane and ethanol production. Stock Car Brasil Championship runs on neat ethanol, E100. Design for large-scale microwave reactor is needed, Leads to the formation of inhibitors (acetic acid, furfural, and 5-HMF) that prevents the growth of microbes, Requirement for effluent disposal and neutralization of pretreated feedstock, Requirement for neutralization of pretreated feedstock, Energy-intensive for recycling the ionic liquid, Causes problems in handling the solution due to the its high viscosity. [215], A paper published in February 2010 by a team led by Lapola from the University of Kassel[216][217] found that the planned expansion of biofuel plantations (sugarcane and soybean) in Brazil up to 2020 will have a small direct land-use impact on carbon emissions, but indirect land-use changes could offset the carbon savings from biofuels due to the expansion of the rangeland frontier into the Amazonian forests, particularly due to displacement of cattle ranching. In contrast, the report found that U.S. use of maize for biofuel is less efficient, as sugarcane can lead to emissions reductions of between 70% and well over 100% when substituted for gasoline. The first type uses enzymes and yeast fermentation to convert the plant cellulose into ethanol while the second type uses pyrolysis to convert the whole plant to either a liquid bio-oil or a syngas. For example, it is mainly produced from sugarcane in Brazil and India and starchy biomass in the USA. [89] An estimate of between 24.9 billion litres (6.58 billion U.S. liquid gallons)[86] to 27.1 billion litres (7.16 billion gallons)[88] of ethanol are expected to be produced in 2008/09 harvest year, with most of the production being destined for the internal market, and only 4.2 billion liters (1.1 billion gallons) for exports, with an estimated 2.5 billion liters (660 million gallons) destined for the US market. The heavier phase, poor in the entrainer (benzene or cyclohexane), is stripped of the entrainer and recycled to the feed—while the lighter phase, with condensate from the stripping, is recycled to the second column. It is a biomass-based renewable fuel produced by alcoholic fermentation of sugars. [2] Most cars on the road today in the U.S. can run on blends of up to 10% ethanol,[6] and ethanol represented 10% of the U.S. gasoline fuel supply derived from domestic sources in 2011. [14] Due to this mandatory minimum gasoline blend, pure gasoline (E0) is no longer sold in the country. Found inside – Page 408Ethanol fermentation from biomass resources: current state and prospects. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Vol.69, No.6, (February 2006), pp.627-642, ... BioScience Vol. The world's top ethanol fuel producers in 2011 were the United States with 13.9×109 U.S. gallons (5.3×1010 liters; 1.16×1010 imperial gallons) and Brazil with 5.6×109 U.S. gallons (2.1×1010 liters; 4.7×109 imperial gallons), accounting together for 87.1% of world production of 22.36×109 U.S. gallons (8.46×1010 liters; 1.862×1010 imperial gallons). However, to be able to meet the expected demand, further expansion will have to come from lignocellulosic materials, for example, forest or agricultural residues. [28][29][59], Under the auspices of the BioEthanol for Sustainable Transport (BEST) project, the first ethanol-powered (ED95) bus began operations in São Paulo city in December 2007 as a one-year trial project. The other route to large-scale use of biomass for power generation is by using it to displace a proportion (say 10%) of the feedstock supplying a large coal-fired power station (known as ‘biomass cofiring’). The ETG was demonstrated by Mobil Oil over HZSM-5. According to a 2006 International Energy Agency report, cellulosic ethanol could be important in the future. The total amount of energy input into the process compared to the energy released by burning the resulting ethanol fuel is known as the energy balance (or "energy returned on energy invested"). [101], Also, there is ongoing research regarding sugarcane biological nitrogen fixation, with the most promising plant varieties showing yields three times the national average in soils of very low fertility, thus avoiding nitrogenous fertilization. [172] The expectation is that using Brazilian technology for refining sugar cane–based ethanol, such countries could become net exporters to the United States in the short-term. [104] That is because the Brazilian ethanol industry has been having trouble meeting its own domestic demand for ethanol during 2010 and 2011, and actually Brazil imported some corn ethanol from the U.S. 7, July 2005. [203], A 2009 study published in Energy Policy found that the use of ethanol fuel in Brazil has allowed to avoid over 600 million tons of CO2 emissions since 1975, when the Pró-Álcool Program began.
