New Perspective -“Lowest Cost” Energy From
Vast Biomass 13, Agri Cellulosic Ethanol
• •2 AGRICULTURAL: Cellulosic Ethanol: from non food crop plant(advanced
ethanol, 2nd genera>on biofuel etc): Sociopoli>cally larger ramifica>on
than forestry feedstock biofuel. This has been commercialized many >mes
prior but frequent un>mely events from losing money, to suddenly
financial backers withdraw, or projects halt with no clear reason given etc,
all in addi>on to technical/opera>onal/raw material difficul>es.
Soviet/Russia operates for regional supply since 1930s(ignored by west,
reduced vol now).
• Majority of techs are actually higher cost than exisEng fuel, but a few are
lowest cost in some situa>ons, or depended on feed stock cost
calcula>ons.
• Finally aPer 2014, some consistent opera>ons have been established
outside of CIS/Russia, while many are s>ll on pilot produc>on by using 3rd
party system(without own facili>es, not listed here): tech use is redundant
with prior listed "1g Forest Residual".
