1 ECONOMICS PROGRAM SRI INTERNATIONA Menlo Park, Califo Abstract Process Economics Program Report No. 149 ETHANOL FOR GASOHOL (March 1982) This report covers the production of ethanol from three major classes of biomass, viz., (1) the starch crop, represented by corn, (2) the sugar crop, represented by sugar beets, and (3) cellulosic materials, represented by wood. It reviews some of the methods to recover an anhydrous ethanol from a dilute aqueous solution, including a preliminary economic evaluation of a liquid carbon dioxide extraction method which is currently under pilot plant studies. It also presents some of the properties of gasohol (gasoline containing 10 ~01% ethanol). PEP'80 WSF

3 For detailed marketing data and information, the reader is referred to one of the SRI programs specializing in marketing research. The CHEMICAL ECONOMICS HANDBOOK Program covers most major chemicals and chemical products produced in the United States and the WORLD PETROCHEMICALS Program covers major hydrocarbons and their derivatives on a worldwide basis. In addition, the SRI DIRECTORY OF CHEMICAL PRODUCERS services provide detailed lists of chemical producers by company, product, and plant for the United States and Western Europe. ii
