Various countries are just starting in this technology now, and once someone is one step or even half a step ahead, it means huge commercial benefits. Unlike wheat-based ethanol, the new technology uses cellulose-containing straw and wood chips to produce ethanol. This replaces some of the gasoline, makes it clean and environmentally friendly, and reduces the cost of raw materials. At present, the internationally popular technologies for manufacturing ethanol from starchy products are divided into three categories: one is the use of food crops such as corn or wheat. The second is the use of non-staple grains such as sweet potato, cassava, sweet sorghum, etc. The third category is the production of waste organisms contained in crop straw, forestry processing waste, sugarcane bagasse and municipal waste, collectively known as cellulose.
