Renewable Energy Sources: Need of the
Hour

Fossil fuels are becoming scarce day by

day.
Demand and cost is increasing
continuously.
Combustion of fossil fuels leading the
global warming.
Bioethanol
A renewable energy source made by fermenting the
sugar and starch components of plant by-products -
mainly sugarcane and crops like grain, using
enzymes.
It is a clean burning fuel blended with petrol to make
a sustainable transport fuel.
Chemical composition of agricultural
wastes.

 Organic Waste to Ethanol:

Enzymes
(Endo-glucanase and Xylanase )
(cellulase & b-glucosidase) Ethanol

Raw material
(Wheat Pretreatment Cellulose
straw, rice (aq. lignin SSF Separation Distillation
straw, corn Ammonia) hemicellulose
straw)
Wate
KO11 & r
Lignin
D5A
Pretreatment:
Reactions involved in Saccharification:
Saccharification:
Filtration:
Reactions Involved in Fermentation:
Fermentation:
Distillation
Road Ahead:
1. Energy balance for the whole process
2. Process flow diagram
3. Equipment design for the plant
4. Plant layout
5. Cost calculations for the plant
