  2. Biofuels have several advantages • Crop-based biofuels consume CO2 during photosynthesis • Residue-based biofuels reduce demand for new fuels and bring value to waste products • Domestic sources of biofuels are available • Renewable • Biodegradeable

  3. There are several different sources of ethanol • Starches: corn, etc. – least amount of energy return per unit mass – process into sugars, then ferment to alcohol • Sugars: sugar cane, sugar beets, etc. – more energy output per unit mass than corn – ferment directly to alcohol • Cellulosic materials: corn stover, wood chips, switchgrass,… – grows without irrigation, tillage, topsoil erosion • not everyone agrees with these claims – requires enzymes to break down lignin
