What is a Bioethanol plant?

A bioethanol plant refers to an ethanol facility that produces ethanol by fermenting resources such as sugar cane and corn. Bioethanol plants are expected to serve as renewable energy facilities that can turn around environmental problems. Due to the economic development of the world, the problem of global warming due to carbon dioxide emissions, such as increased demand for oil and unstable supply of crude oil, is getting worse. Bioethanol, which is produced from biomass as a raw material, does not substantially increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air even if it is burned, and has carbon-neutral characteristics.

Application of Bioethanol plant

Bioethanol is positioned as carbon-neutral in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and is used as a renewable energy such as an alternative fuel to gasoline. If bioethanol becomes more widespread, it will be possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The bioethanol plant is said to be undergoing demonstration tests as a place for bioethanol production using various raw materials, such as the utilization of untapped resources in the region as an ethanol facility and the accompanying regional revitalization.
