Overview:
Summary
Cellulosic ethanol is a ‘Second generation’ bioethanol produced using advanced processing techniques from non edible feedstock. Cellulosic ethanol also called ‘cellanol’ is produced from biomass including waste from urban, agricultural, and forestry sources which are available in abundance. The technology is presently in the nascent stage with a total production capacity of 57.37 million liters. The total production capacity which is currently online is either in the ‘pilot’ or the ‘demonstration’ stage. The technology is yet to have a commercial launch. However, there are close to thirty plants globally which are either at the planning or construction phase of which some are expected to be online in 2010.
The cellulosic ethanol industry is poised to grow with feasible renewable energy policies, financial support, strong political will, and commercial scale technology that can generate better return on investment.
