Abstract

This chapter will cover the current state and possible futures of the biofuels industry. Technology options for the production of cellulosic ethanol will be explained with comparative economics given for representative biochemical and thermochemical cellulosic ethanol conversion processes. This will be followed by a description of the current state of the biofuels industry with possible future directions outlined and what needs to happen both from a technical and business perspective to provide the best chances of success. Finally, advanced biofuel (hydrocarbon fuels) conversion options will be discussed with preliminary economics provided.
