Fuel derived from renewable resources present an attractive alternative to petroleum, with benefits ranging from reduced green house gases to reduced dependency on foreign oil. “Cellulose Ethanol” is a new course that provide students with an overview of the cellulose ethanol production process from biomass feedstock to finished product. The course reviews cellulose based biomass that can be pretreated and converted into biofuel. We also explore crop availability and pricing, fuel potential, case studies, and outlook for both food-grade and non food-grade crops.

After completing Cellulose Ethanol, students will be equipped with a basic understanding of the following:

Cellulose ethanol production process

Available cellulose biomass sources

Chemistry and composition for each biomass source

Fuel potential derived from each source

Impact on the energy and agricultural sectors

Market and research trends

A basic understanding of chemistry is recommended.

Students will be assigned 5 homework assignments, and 1 final exam.
