If not, what can be done to make this process aviable long-term alternative to fossil fuels? As part of their ENG1102 experience, MichiganTech students will answer these questions.Biomass-to-Ethanol FacilityThe basic design for the biomass-to-ethanol facility for the alternative fuel design process isbased upon an ASPEN Plus Simulation developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) in 1999.
