Biofuels: Policies, Standards and Technologies

1.0 Bioethanol Feedstocks There are two broad groups of bioethanol feedstock refered to as the first and second generation feedstock. The majority of the first generation of feedstock for bioethanol production include those that are widely grown and used for food and animal feed, hence the current debate, " Food or Fuel? " .These are the feedstock that are currently being used for the production of sugar, or which has high component of simple sugar. These feedstocks are the easiest to convert to ethanol and they include:
