Abstract

A major challenge to reducing our dependence on fossil fuel resources is the production of sustainable liquid fuels. Ethanol is amongst the most well-known liquid fuels and has been used for car engines since the late 1800s (Rothmann et al. 1983). Ethyl alcohol, or chemically, C ₂H ₅OH or EtOH, can be produced from renewable biomass materials and is therefore considered a ‘green’ fuel. Its utilisation as a transportation fuel can help reduce both the consumption of crude oil and the associated production of greenhouse gases.
