What is the overall concept of this technology. Cellulosic ethanol state of the art gives a 10% ethanol yield, which means 10 tons of biomass are needed to produce 1 ton of ethanol. So the input/output ratio is $1000 to $500 or a loss of $-500 per ton of ethanol. The energy input/output ratio is even worse at 5 tons of oil equivalent to 1 ton of ethanol oil equivalent received. Where does your process stand?
