The two scientists calculated all the fuel inputs for ethanol production — from the diesel fuel for the tractor planting the corn, to the fertilizer put in the field, to the energy needed at the processing plant — and found that ethanol is a net energy - loser.

However, the ethanol concentration yielded from a cellulosic ethanol process tends to be significantly lower than the concentration obtained in a conventional ethanol production.

Q Microbe ™ converts a wide array of cellulosic biomass directly into ethanol in a single step, consolidating enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, largely eliminating costly enzymes and associated pretreatment, and simplifying the entire production process.

The production and use of ethanol merely recycles in a different way the CO2 that has been fixed by plants in the photosynthesis process.
