ethanol production? What is the procedure involved in the production of ethanol.
Ethanol production??????????????? How big does distallition still have to be to produce 1000 liters of ethanol a day? ie height and diameter
Need a rebuttal for an arguement against corn ethanol production in the US? I am writing a proposal argument on corn ethanol production and I need a rebuttal. I start with an intro, tell the problem including background, seriousness, and any previous attempts to solve. Go into my proposal listing alternative solutions. Opposition is next followed by the "rebuttal". This is where I am stuck. I need a good example to go here. Like an analogy maybe? Thanks!
what is the difference in energy used for oil production and energy used for ethanol production? you never hear about how much energy it takes for oil discovery, refining and distribution and the continuing damage to the environment. ethanol on the other hand is accused of being inefficient, increasing food costs. it is renewable and is not destroying the environment. ethanol production is becoming more and more efficient every day. many processes were not very efficient when they were first discovered and took time to refine and make more productive. lets not abandon something that provides a part of the large puzzel of energy independance from dictator countries that hate our guts and want to kill us. we must try and find other sources of energy or we will have no choice but to continue to send billions of dollars out of our country. what if our oil imports are cut off, what will we do? i know well, the food vs. fuel debate. but the facts are that there is plenty of grain and areas to produce it for food and fuel and corn production is not destroying the environment.
Does anyone know of a good website on ethanol production? I am curious as to how much raw material is needed to produce a gallon of ethanol. Corn vs. sugarcane and other materials that might be used to produce ethanol. Also what the cost of production might be.
Ethanol Production? i need a thesis statement and i dont know how to even try to come up with one and suggestions?
Can cellulosic ethanol and switchgrass be the answer to cheap ethanol production in the USA? Scientists involved in the production of ethanol say that it can be done cheaper and faster using alternatives to corn cobs. What do you think?
Will ethanol production make the practice of eating corn chips a treat only for the wealthy? Is there now an opportunity to completely corner the corn chip market before the supply of corn is completely devoted to ethanol production? Is there corn chip futures trading in the Chicago Mercantile?
where can i find a yeast for ethanol production? i'm studying of using fruit peels for ethanol production.
Is ethanol production really driving up tortilla prices in Mexico? I've heard that increasing use of ethanol, which is made from corn, is driving up corn prices, which is driving up the prices of staple foods like tortillas in Mexico and other countries. Is this true? Are the economics of ethanol really sound?
Just what is switchgrass and why is it good for ethanol production? Any scientist farmers out there know much about switchgrass? How does it grow and why is it so good for making ethanol?
What types of plants and/or vegetation can be used for ethanol production? I'm thinking about starting an ethanol plant on my ranch.
How can I find a mutual fund or other stock that invests in ethanol production for flex fuel vehicles? The Wall Street Journal today had an article about ethanol commodity prices jumping due to the increased demand for ethanol fuel for cars. I want to find an investment (mutual fund, stock) that I can buy to take advantage of the increasing ethanol prices.
Is the "corn" that is used in ethanol production, the same kind of corn humans usually eat? In other words, are farmers growing two different types of corn so that the price of human edible corn should not affect ethanol produced corn as long as farmers continue to grow the edible type?
What is the current ethanol production in the US? Looking to build a 50mm gallon per year plant in the southern US. Looking for the best technology. Any analysis and projections welcome.
Where can I find information about ethanol production? I have a very good book about alcohol as a fuel, but I just don't understand certain parts of it. How can I get in touch with a small group of producers (in Iowa) who can help me?
How does brix, pH and temperature affect ethanol production? Thanks for the help.
Writing a bill for the production of ethanol in the sate of kansas? In my government class we are doing a mock congress and i was selected to be a republican from Kansas. I have to write a bill on the production of ethanol. I need help in picking out a problem on the production of ethanol (this is what my legislation is going to focus on)
Why is corn the only crop being promoted for ethanol production? Before corn can produce the sugar that powers ethanol it's starch must be converted into a sugar. This process will no doubt be expensive and complicated. Why not utilize other crops, such as sugarcane, that don't need to be converted. With the sugarcane's sugar allready in place an expensive and unnecessary step could be skipped and ethanol produced.
Do plant hormones increase the amount of ethanol production? For example Auxins or Gibberellins?
Would CO2 emissions from ethanol production trump or equal emmissions from fossil sources? I'm thinking not, but a buddy of mine insisted that mass ethanol production would be just as bad as current CO2 emmissions with a fossil based fuel diet. I would think the increase in biomass from plant life might factor in, and also that much of the CO2 might be harvested to create optimal growth condition in "plant growth factories" etc...assuming hydroponic media would be used. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like the CO2 consumption of the plants harvested would outweigh the CO2 released during ethanol fermentation.
Are US politicians out of the mimd on ethanol production sources? Why they promote corn and other grains as sources instead sugarcanes which have at least 3X more efficient ethanol? Why use something will erode soil with the need of plenty of fertilizers while sugarcane only require little? Are they really for the environment or just plain naive? Perhaps they truly work for fossil-fuel corporations to prevent ethanol efficiency taking over?
will Timber companies profit from future ethanol production? I have recently read articles about future production of Ethanol using trees...
what do you know about cellulosic ethanol production from switchgrass? curious about the chemistry behind it. if i understand correcly the biomass is chopped up, exposed to an acid to preform hydrolysis, fermented with yeat to convert glucose monomer to ethanol, and then distilled. right? is this a viable way to make fuel
Can personal Ethanol production break our dependence on oil? Anybody with a resonable amount of land can grow sugar beets. Obviouslty you would have to invest in an E-85 vehicle, but you would have some control over your own fuel supply, which is what the Cartels fear the most. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080508/sc_nm/ethanol_homemade_dc_1
In ethanol production, where does the suger come from? I know that yeast contains the enzyme to ferment it, but where does the suger come from?
How Soon Will Dems Destroy the Environment as Ethanol Production Depletes Aquifers, Destroys Forests, and Caus ... causes people in Africa to starve to death since they can't afford to pay twice as much for corn and other food? (Farmers are cutting down forests to grow more crops to make ethanol. Cutting down trees is BAD for global warming.)
Is the expectations of ethanol production by Bush realistic? According to my calculations it would take 25% of half of Americas farmland to grow the crops just for ethonal production. This is based on expected production by 2017. A total of 35b gallons.Anyone else have an opinion?
Is it wrong for Americans to drive up the price of Corn for ethanol production? Mexico Battles Soaring Tortilla Prices! It sounds like an ethnic joke but it's not -- corn tortilla prices in Mexico have been going through the roof due to Americans diverting their corn to ethanol production. The law of unintended consequences. It's a big hit on poor Mexicans. Essentially, we're hurting Mexicans in our attempt to hurt Arab sheiks. Should Americans feel guilty about this? see: http://tinyurl.com/24tw3a
Is ethanol production increasing this year? I heard somewhere that it is, if so, then what's it being increased to, and what was it last year and previous years?
Ethanol production continues to drive up the food costs - especially dairy products? Thank you anti-American Progressives. " It's of no concern to me that our nation has enough food to eat, (Dan) Rather it is more important to have less emmissions and cleaner air "- STALIN
Ethanol production question i hope someone can help out.? I had heard that there has been some experimentation done with combining beet sugar with corn sugar to produce ethanol. I was hopeing to find some info on this process so if anyone knows where i can get any info it would be much appreciated.
if the ethanol process becomes as efficient as gasoline production will skeptics support ethanol then? before you answer my question, please, ethanol is NOT driving the price of food up. it only makes up a small percentage of food processing. it's the cost of oil that is increasing all costs of production for all industries that in turn increase the price of food. don't forget the united states is spending billions of dollars on diet pills, exercise machines, medical procedures and many diet programs to lose weight. so if the price of food is increasing maybe in the long run our nation will be healtier.
i,m interested to learn about the ethanol production business, please contact me if you are knowledgeable? what are the cost of building ethanol production plant.? who are the buyers of ethanol ? what are the prospect of engaging in this industry
Can i get help on how to set up a small scale ethanol production plant? how much will i need? what are the basic equipment?
Is it about time to shut down ethanol production for vehicles? The stuff is more toxic than regular gasoline. Should we continue spending $$Billions in taxpayer subsidies on something that kills more people?? http://news-service.stanford.edu/pr/2007/pr-ethanol-041807.html
Why don't we grow more sugar cane to use in the production of ethanol in the US? Sugar is subsidized and produces eight times more energy than corn. Why aren't we following the Brazil model in producing more sugar ethanol?
It seems that ethanol production in the United States has not been completely thought? through. We have just started our energy shift and believe that ethanol production is not dead, but could be tweaked such as using urban brown fields to grow crops for fuel instead of clearing wood and grasslands. What are your thoughts?http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080509/sc_afp/inflationpovertyfoodenergybiofuelsus;_ylt=ArroHdyuaQZ1ychaNj9misEDW7oF
What are the unintended consequences of large-scale ethanol production in America? Many politicians in the U.S. are actively proposing using ethanol to supplement gasoline. However, what are the unintended consequences of converting such a large portion of our national food-growing resources into fuel for our cars? Is there any unintended consequence of using above-ground resources to produce what were below-ground resources? How would it affect our water supplies if we burnt ethanol that was made from above-ground water supplies? When we burn off a gallon of ethanol, are we effectively liquidating a gallon of water? Please share your thoughts.
what is the key ingredient in the production of ethanol ? so i start with corn, add yeast to make ethanol, what am i left over with from the corn plant. stem? leaves? cob? kernel? root? all of the above ? none?
How much energy is consumed in the production of ethanol ? I read that from planting the corn to the finished product, ready to be added to gasoline. That's it only a break even process saving very little oil. I also understand that the fertilizer used to grow corn is made mostly from oil. I'm hoping that maybe a crop that doesn't need added fertilizer could be used instead.
How can the production of ethanol spur the growth of rural economies? Many farming towns are dying and there are many counties in America's heartland that are actually losing population. Do you think that an increase in the use of ethanol could spur the economies of heartland towns as we effectively send our oil money to the Midwest instead of the Mideast?
Who are the technology suppliers for production of ethanol from cellulose.? Efficient cost efective technology for ethanol production for blending into gasoline.
where do i find detailed info on the production of ethanol? - If we compare the cost to produce Gas and the to produce the same quantity of Ethanol, is it really more convenient to produce Ethanol instead of producing Gas? - why is so important in the national debate? - People who produce Eth. receive incentives and taxes breaks: where do i find accurate info on this aspect of the law?
Isn't it time to build skyscrapers dedicated to the production of Ethanol biofuels? This would prevent food crop fields from depleting and would fuel virtually any diesel fuel car on Earth with NO emissions. Then we wouldn't have to rely on terrorist States for oil to fuel our cars. Ethanol can be easily extracted from corn.
why is the production of ethanol considered a biotechnology? a) separation techniques are used in the process b) the process can be explained using a flowchart c) carbon dioxide is a waste product from the process d) the process uses micro-organisms to produce a useful product
despite ethanol corn production,how come we still have record oil prices? or is it because of the ethanol mess we're in,since it still uses petrol based fertilizer to grow crops.
Consider the following two reactions for the production of ethanol.? Consider the following two reactions for the production of ethanol. C2H4(g) + H2O(g) CH3CH2OH(l) C2H6(g) + H2O(g) CH3CH2OH(l) + H2(g) Which would be the more thermodynamically feasible? Assume standard conditions and assume that ΔH° and ΔS° are temperature-independent. ΔH° for reaction 1 ΔS° for reaction 1 ΔH° for reaction 2 ΔS° for reaction 2 Why? Please help and explain!
Is bushs' ethanol production rate for 2017 realistic? My calculations are about 10 to 20 percent of the total crop production of the U. S. Are the starving masses around the earth worth it?
Brasil: Increase ethanol production, reduction production of corn? What do u think about this phenomenal problème... Nowadays, a lot of countries decided to increase their production of new natural fuel such as ethanol, but this way involve a plumet of corn/soja production to feed people ? waiting u points of view ;-)
