Most of the studies I'm aware of discuss the manufacture of ethanol from corn. I know first-hand of an interesting process that uses cellulose as its feedstock. The reaction is via an enzyme that initially converts the cellulose to sugar... then the normal fermentation process to ethanol.

Good point about the CO2 emissions. I don't believe it's practical to even think about running vehicles on biofuels alone. I do believe, however, that a percentage of vehicle fuel could be biofuel. Right now I use Sunoco gas (in Canada) that contains a maximum of 10% ethanol. If all
