Very little cellulosic ethanol is being produced today. Virtually all of the 8 billion gallons of ethanol produced each year in the US come from corn grain sources. Cellulosic technology is a known technology (Henry Ford commented on it in 1925) but has only recently been refined sufficiently enough to make production of ethanol an economically sound process.
