Abstract

This research service attempts to assess the potential of ethanol production in North America and looks at the traditional feedstock that is currently in use in the United States and Canada.

Though cellulose production technology is being given a lot of importance in both the aforementioned countries, it is not expected to be commercialized before 2015, which is beyond the purview of this research service.
