Description
The current shortage in petroleum and the poor outlook for the future indicate that a determined effort should be made at this time to develop, construct, and operate alternate fuel plants.
For the near term, the production of alcohol fuel from biomass represents a fast practical means of adding to the dwindling petroleum supply.
The biomass feedstocks which will feed the alcohol distilleries need to be carefully selected. The food chains should not be drastically interrupted, and agricultural economic balances should not be altered.
This paper will investigate the various alternatives regarding alcohol production within the confines of selected biomass feedstocks, so as to promote a new industry, rather than interrupt normal agricultural activities.
