ALCOHOL FROM MAHUA FLOWERS
[CODE NO.2019]
Energy is the lifeline of global economy, diminishing fossil fuel reserves and increased concerns over environmental pollution accelerated the need to look for renewable and environmentally sustainable energy sources. In this context, ethanol derived from biomass is means to meet our energy needs. Bioethanol is a sustainable and renewable transportation fuel that is a promising substitute to gasoline and represents an environment-friendly fuel because it reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, which is a major cause of global warming. The development of alternative fuel and energy from biomass has therefore, resurfaced as a research priority in recent years. It is expected that demand for fuel ethanol will rise from current estimates of 8 billion to 22.7 billion gasoline-equivalent gallons (or 20% market share) by 2020. The future risks of global warming and shortage of petroleum, as well as the superior environmental characteristics of ethanol as an oxygenated additive to gasoline that improves the knocking resistance of gasoline, promote the production and usage of bioethanol in the fuel market.
Bioethanol is fermentation alcohol, which refers to ethyl alcohol produced by microbial fermentation processes as opposed to synthetically ethanol from petrochemical sources. It is produced through distillation of fermented biomass. In general bioethanol can be extracted from every sort of carbohydrate material. The main cost element in bioethanol production is the feedstock. These can be divided into three main groups: sugary, starchy and lignocellulosic biomass. First generation feedstocks for bioethanol production primarily refer to plant biomass sources that are also sources of human and animal nutrition, namely cereal starches and sugar crops. Sucrose based materials are predominantly derived from sugarcane and sugar beet; while starch based materials are predominantly derived from cereal crops such as maize, wheat and other cereals. Second generation raw materials for bioethanol production typically refer to non-food biomass sources, mainly lignocellulosic biomass. This represent the most abundant form of carbon on Earth, and encompasses two categories of feedstock’s: waste materials like straws, corn residues, wood chippings, forestry residues, spent grains, MSW, agricultural residues and Energy crops such as basket willow, switch grass, reed canary grass, ryegrass etc.
