Abstract

<p>Bioethanol produced from biomass is expected to become a sustainable energy source in the future since bioethanol has advantages over fossil fuels. Namely, bioethanol is a natural and renewable form of energy that does not increase atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, because burning biomass releases carbon dioxide that is largely balanced by the carbon dioxide absorbed in its own growth. In Brazil and the United States, bioethanol produced from sugarcane, corn and other crops is already being used as automobile fuel by blend ing with gasoline. Increase in bioethanol production may, however, lead to increase in food prices due to the competition with food production.</p><p>In our country with the background of self-suffi ciency ratio in the primary supply, “Sophisticated meth od of energy supply structure” has been established in 2009 to limit the volume of green-house gas emission and use of the biofuel is required. At the present, bioethanol which made from sugarcane is imported from Brazil. But considering in competition with a food is mentioned by a law, development cellulosic bioethanol is required from the prospective of energy security.</p><p>From 2015 to 2017, JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy （JXTG） and Oji holdings （Oji HD） studied “Demonstra tion and Development Project of Production System for Cellulosic bioethanol” for the purpose of development and demonstration. This project was supported from New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization （NEDO） and gathered the elemental technology obtained in the previous project, and in experi ment, the most suitable combination was selected. Furthermore, we operate pilot-scale plant and confi rmed the productivity of the cellulosic bioethanol.</p>
