| Summary: | Bioethanol is produced from the
fermentation of sugar. The process required sugar
to produce ethanol derived from fuel or energy
crops such as cassava, molasses, and sugar cane.
Basically, ethanol is burned to produce carbon
dioxide and water, releasing energy. The
advantages of bioethanol over the conventional
gasoline are higher volumetric energy density,
higher engine compression ratios and cheaper
price of gasoline produced. This study compares
the production of bioethanol from cassava and
molasses in terms of its retail prices, ease of
accessible resources, global warming potential
and dependence on fossil fuels. Besides, the
effects of bioethanol production also were
discussed in the related topic of food security,
feedstock supply security, job opportunities,
improvement of air quality, impact on
deforestation, fuel price stability and stabilizing the
income of farmers. |
