A mixture of public and private researchers in Sweden have agreed to work together on the development and large scale implementation of a new process for producing cellulosic ethanol.
Unlike first generation ethanol production, which has been widely criticized for its negative effects on food supplies and questionable carbon footprint, cellulosic ethanol uses agriculture and forestry waste to produce biofuel. According to the researchers, “The [energy] yield [resulting from this process] could be improved up to 40 percent… thereby creating a cheaper and more environmentally friendly fuel.”
