Iowa State Researchers Developing New Thermochemical System for Ethanol Production from Biomass

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Iowa State University are developing a new thermochemical system for the coproduction of ethanol and thermal energy, based on a new low-emissions burner and a new catalyst for ethanol production. The key will be carbon-based nanoparticles just a few billionths of a meter wide. The project is supported by a two-year, $2.37
