    chemicals are released in ethanol fumes they are released in the air and are inhaled by people around the cars. The New York Department of health (NYDH) reports that, “ammonia is irritating and corrosive. Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia in air causes immediate burning of the nose, throat and respiratory tract” (NYHD 2005). The use of fertilizers in corn production makes ethanol even worse than gasoline. Patzek states, “the air is more polluted with the use of ethanol, and more health hazards

    production is one pathway for crude oil reduction and environmental compliance. Bioethanol can be used as fuel with significant characteristics like high octane number, low cetane number and high heat of vaporization. Its main drawbacks are the corrosiveness, low flame luminosity, lower vapor pressure, miscibility with water, and toxicity to ecosystems. One crucial problem with bioethanol fuel is the availability of raw materials. The supply of feedstocks for bioethanol production can vary season

    corn being wasted on ethanol, is detrimental to the poverty stricken of this world and makes their lives even harder because they cannot afford basic food (Hunger Map 2015). The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) created a mandate for Ethanol production in the united states that increases every year till 2022, in 2022 the mandate will be thirty-six billion gallons of ethanol produced in the United States (Stop Fueling Par 4). This mandate creates extremely high demand for ethanol production, which uses

    Since the climate and ecological conditions favor cane production in Brazil, that has become the substrate of choice for the ethanol distillers in that region. Sugar cane is a rapid growing, drought hardy species that usually contains 15-17 % fermentable sugars. With a biomass harvest of 30 tons/ hectare, it is one of the better crops for calories/ hectare in the agricultural spectrum

    several initiatives taken by individual countries will surely contribute to accelerate the process of reconstruction. Brazil, for instance, is cooperating with Haiti in school lunch programs, the promotion of sports, the production and use of ethanol fuel produced from sugar cane and a vaccination campaign. However, the most important thing in this reconstruction process is to learn from past mistakes. By doing that, it will be possible to avoid all the wrong choices that were made in the country’s

    Hydrothermal treatment can be used for the on-farm processing of lignocellulosic materials. This study investigated the hydrothermal treatment of sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) powder for the extraction of hemicellulose from it. Changes in chemical composition of SSB and the formation of sugars and hydrolytic products were studied. The optimum conditions of 12.54% (g/g) substrate concentration and 90 minutes of isothermal treatment residence time at 394 K were conducive to the extraction of 72.61-72

    Introduction Our regression analysis was done on OMNITRANS fuel consumption. This has been an ongoing issue for OMNITRANS where there seems to be an inconsistency with there CNG fuel consumption. There continues to be variance in what is consumed each day compared to the amount of miles driven. This issue is very important to OMNITRANS because it makes it very difficult to plan for future use with the CNG industry. OMNITRANS wants to have a consistency with CNG use so they can plan for budgeting

    Bioethanol manufactured from renewable sources for fuel or fuel added substances are known as bioethanol. Bioethanol, not at all like petroleum, is a type of renewable energy source that can be produced by using agriculture feedstock [4]. An efficient bio-ethanol production requires four components: fermentable carbohydrates, an efficient yeast strain, a few nutrients and simple culture conditions. Approximately 80% of world supply of alcohol is produced by fermentation of sugar and starch containing
