| Research Abstract |
When the production of ethanol is estimated, we should consider the fact that in RFS the upper limit is set for obligatory consumption of ethanol and that is 15 billion gallons. Fundamentally, the US federal government is trying to change focus of ethanol production from corn-based ethanol to the second generation of ethanol.
Recently, the US federal government and congress has abolished some polices to support the production and consumption of ethanol.It is urgent to complete the commercialization of the second generation of ethanol base not on corn as ingredient but on non-food ingredients while the shale gas revolution is under way.
