HOW DOES MICRO FUSION ENHANCE BIOFUEL PRODUCTION?
An important application of Micro Fusion is in production of liquid biofuels. There is a projected market for huge quantities of concentrated ethanol and butanol as non-fossil automotive fuels. Biofuel chemical processes convert plant carbohydrate into dilute ethanol and butanol. These liquids must be concentrated to act as useful fuels. Practical biofuel concentration processes all require large amounts of heat in the temperature range available from Micro Fusion equipment. The relatively small size of Micro Fusion units permits these units to be located close to where the biofuel feedstock is grown. Hence biofuel feedstock residue remaining after removal of the plant carbohydrate can be easily recycled for soil fertilization to sustain biofuel feedstock growth.
