Butanol and Ethanol production as Bio-fuel

Presently, shortage of petroleum reservoirs and pollution of the environment has forced countries to search for other fuel resources. Butanol and Ethanol (BE) are of great importance as fuels that are mainly produced by petrochemical processes. After the Second World War, bacterial production of these chemicals has attracted a great deal of attention by means of clostridia species. This article provides some necessary information on raw materials, medium characteristics and processes used for enhanced BE production.
