Resumen
Descripción
Small-scale alcohol plants will have difficulty in supplying fuel that is competitive in cost with petroleum-based fuels. This is based upon economic findings form interdisciplinary research with a pilot fuel alcohol plant. Results of economic-engineering cost analyses and of fuel and feed byproduct returns analyses are shown. Fuel and feed transportation costs are also considered in determining the economic feasibility prospects for small-scale plants producing hydrous ethanol from grain.
