Abstract
Following the price increase of petroleum feedstocks in 1973, increasing attention was given to the possibility of producing basic chemicals such as alcohols by fermentation processes. In this paper, the feasibility of using fermentation processes for the production of ethanol from starches and sugars is examined and compared with petrochemical routes from naphtha.
