Making ethanol form corn and sugarcane is no more a new concept! With the demands for bio-fuel soaring, to shift a bit of the increasing burden from ethanol, a Japanese research group has developed a technology that extracts ethanol from ‘inedible plants’! Thus, it not only relieves the edible crops, but also helps from future crop deficit across the world.
The Japanese research group, Research Institute of Innovative Technology has ventured into this innovative and groundbreaking finding along with Honda Motor Co. — Japan’s third- largest automaker.
Unlike the existing bio-ethanol production that typically use food plants for producing bio-fuels, they have developed a way to produce the fuel from leaves and stalks of plants! The company informed on this in a statement.
