Abstract
In the last 10 years advances in biotechnology have reduced the cost of bioethenol by almost 25%. The DOE bioethanol program targets process improvements intended to allow bioethanol to compete with gasoline in the marketplace. Researchers are utilizing biomass feedstock for bioethanol conversion. The bioethanol conversion technology depends on hydrolysis and fermentation. To maximize biomassfermentation, Biotechnology researchers have produced new strains of yeast and bacteria.
