Overview: This paper focuses on Large-scale application of bio-ethanol as a transportation fuel which can contribute substantially to the reduction of CO2 emissions and other emissions (SO2, NOx) from the transport sector. Worldwide, 17 million tons/year of fuel ethanol are currently produced from agro-feedstock such as corn, sugar cane, sugar beet and wheat. Current production costs are about 0.34 Euro/liter (16.2 Euro/GJ) which are 2 fold the price of gasoline (7.3 Euro/GJ). The use of agricultural residues and biomass wastes from agro-industry, forestry or other origins as a feedstock is expected to greatly enhance world fuel ethanol production at reduced cost, thus promoting large scale application.
