摘要：

The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) recently completed a detailed engineering and economic analysis of the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) based wood-to-ethanol process. The reference-case design was based on a plant capacity of 1920 dry t/d and a wood cost of $42/dry t. For this case, the preliminary estimate of the production cost of the ethanol product is about $1.22/gal. The combined effects of optimizing SSF enzyme loading, increasing plant capacity to 10,000 dry t/d, and reducing wood cost to $34/dry t are to reduce the preliminary estimate of the production cost to about $0.95/gal. Other technological improvements may further reduce the production cost. Certain technical assumptions, inherent in the analysis, are being investigated further.
