    Ethanol can be produced from agricultural waste like straw and corn waste. The authors' project involves using the yeast Zymomonas mobils to ferment sugars from lignocellulosic biomass like straw into ethanol through a multi-step reaction process carried out in large tanks over 36 hours. Biofuels are an important development trend as they are renewable fuels that can be produced locally from waste materials, helping countries gain energy independence while supporting the transport industry through a sustainable fuel source.

    Ethanol Production From Straw

    and corn waste


    By Tung and Paul
    What is a Biofuel

    • Biofuels are fuels formed from compounds derived from plants


    and animals
    Why Develop them

    • Biofuels are an indispensable development trend


    • Technology is available which allows developing countries to make
    fuel out of waste
    • Hugely important in Transport
    Our Project

    Reaction

    (Glucan)n → n Glucose Oligomer

    (Glucan)n + ½n H2 O → ½n Cellobiose

    (Glucan)n + n H2O → n Glucose


    Cellobiose + H2O → 2 Glucose
    Some Specifics

    • The yeast we will be using is named Zymomonas mobils


    • The fermentation process is carried out in a large tank with a
    predetermined time to ferment sugar into ethanol for about 36h
    • Straw is one of the richest lignocellulosic residues in the world. Its
    annual output is about 731 million tonnes distributed in Africa,
    Asia, Europe and America
