Biomass Ethanol: Expensive but Promising Alternative Fuel Near Refineries
The article discusses the potential of using biomass ethanol as a renewable fuel. Ethanol is being considered as a replacement for MTBE in fuel, and the paper looks at the market for ethanol and other oxygenate products. The study finds that ethanol's market stability relies on government support. Biomass ethanol is more costly to make but can be produced near refineries, reducing transport expenses compared to other ethanol sources.
