Experimental Reports on Ethanol Production from Sweet Sorghum Stems(I)—— Experiments on Ethanol Production from Different Species

Yanfeng Zhang

Abstract

Experiments on ethanol production from stems of sweet sorghum Jiutianliang #1 and Jiutianza #1 using solid fermentation were reported here.The results showed that the sweet sorghum stem was a great source of bioenergy.We produced 9.26 tons and 8.76 tons of 50 %vol crude ethanol(3.96 tons and 3.75 tons of 99.6 %vol anhydrous ethanol) from each hectare of the Jiutianliang #1 and Jiutianza #1 species,respectively.Ethanol production from sweet sorghum stems is significantly higher than that from corn seeds based on each unit area.In addition,ethanol production from sweet sorghum stems is significant different from species to species.Therefore,we should select the right sweet sorghum species for ethanol production.
