24 Butanol vs. Ethanol fermentation and separation Substrates Mass yield, by theorie [g/kg GEQ*] realized [g/kg GEQ*] Product concentration [g/l] - Butanol (T B : 118 C) - Acetone (T B : 56 C) - Ethanol (T B : 78 C) - Water (T B : 100 C) Productivity [g/(l h)] Energy density [MJ/L] * GEQ: Glucose-Equivalent Butanol biomass, residues 0,38 0, ca. 4 ca ,2 1,2 29,2 Ethanol glucose sucrose 0,51 0, ,6 vti Vorlop page 23 Various sources, combined
25 Conclusion Currently production costs are too high for using butanol as biofuel Using biobutanol as feedstock for chemicals is the preferred option Significant technological improvements are necessary before butanol can be used as biofuel vti Vorlop page 24
