Bioethanol

What is Bioethanol? - When ethanol is fermented from glucose from some natural source, the result is the production bioethanol. Bioethanol is another biofuel capable of providing enough energy when burnt to be used as a fuel for transport.

The equation for the complete combustion of ethanol is the following:

C2H5OH + 3O2 2CO2 + 3H2O + heat

What is bioethanol? - Ethanol can be manufactured synthetically from petrochemical raw materials or biologically though the fermentation of sugar. SEKAB’s ethanol is biological and the raw materials for production in Örnsköldsvik consist, amongst other things, of sugar solution obtained from paper pulp production and oxygen from the air.

Bioethanol is ethanol (alcohol) that is derived exclusively from the fermentation of plant starches. Though ethanol can be extracted as a by-product from a chemical reaction with ethylene and other petroleum products, these sources are not considered renewable. - Source
