Converting a corn ethanol plant to produce biobutanol requires changes to the fermentation step (mainly a new microorganism) and to alcohol recovery from the fermentation. ASTM has issued a new standard— ASTM D7862-13 —covering butanol intended to be blended with gasoline at 1-12.5 of the hydrocarbon gasoline.

At commercial scale, the inputs to the proposed “carbon refinery” process are carbon-free renewable energy, water, and CO 2. If successful, it will be the first biological platform to convert carboxylic acids into a broad range of fuels and commodities with greater than 100% carbon efficiency. University of Minnesota.
