Examples
-
Brazil has far more competitive free energy markets without subsidies, and the result has been the low-cost production of renewable ethanol vehicle fuel from the sugar and electricity from the cellulosics of sugar cane.
-
Biofuels are available today by the billions of gallons from a variety of sources: corn, sugarcane and soon from cellulosics.

-
Meanwhile, the more economical use of cellulosics for electricity co-generation is blocked by the monopolization of both regulated and deregulated U.S. electricity markets (wind and solar also enter these markets through mandates and subsidies).
-
Moreover, the recently passed farm bill contains a staggering $1.01 per gallon subsidy for cellulosic ethanol, even after the December 2007 energy bill mandated that 80% of new ethanol capacity come from cellulosics after 2013.
-
Develop biofuels from multiple sources (preferably other than corn, which produces just a little more energy than it takes to grow and process), including cellulosics and algae, to provide oil alternatives both in the transportation industries and as material feedstocks for industrial processes such as plastics.
-
But he remains hung up on producing them from cellulosics by fermentation.
-
We should be investing a great deal more in cellulosics research, because corn ethanol is not going to take us the whole way.
-
Alcohol from cellulosics: the autohydrolysis-extraction process.

Table 2 presents a few selected organisms that have been investigated in the biodegradation of ligno-cellulosics (4 8).

-
Thus, if fermentation is to be developed on native ligno-cellulosics, we have to deal with at least three different types of carbon compounds as substrafes, namely, short-chain pentose polymers, complex aromatic polymers built from phenyl-propane units, and insoluble, large molecular linear polymer cellulose.
