Ethanol Sourced Carbon Dioxide and the Energy Sector
by Sam A. Rushing, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd. | (Jim Lane, The Digest).
In the U.S., ethanol by-product carbon dioxide is a dominant form of CO2 off-gas from all CO2 processes and source types; and this carbon dioxide is significant in the supply to energy–related projects. This (fossil fuel) energy related sector will remain in high demand, even though the long term answer to the global energy demand, will have to be fulfilled via renewable sources, with a great deal of reliance on biofuels. This piece describes the application of CO2 in the enhanced production of primarily fossil fuels…
