Production of Fuel Ethanol from Cellulosic Peat for Future Transportation Systems: First Year, Annual Report

The production of bioethanol from peat is proposed. A search of the available literature yields no prior information on the use of peat as a carbon source for bioethanol. This proposal addresses the production in the most cost-effective manner possible, utilizing special enzymes, and using materials native to Michigan. The bioethanol proposed will either be utilized as fuel or in fuel blends.
