Abstract

Povećana zabrinutost za sigurnost opskrbe naftom i negativan utjecaj fosilnih goriva na okoliš, stavlja pritisak na društvo za pronalaskom obnovljive alternative za dobivanje goriva. Biogoriva kao biodizel, bioplin dobivena iz biomase poželjna su zamjena za fosilna goriva jer su trenutno jedini put ka održivom razvoju. Ovaj rad bavi se proizvodnjom bioetanola na šećernim, škrobnim i lignoceluloznim sirovinama. Brazil i SAD ističu se kao vodeći proizvođači bioetanola prve generacije, no u ovom radu navedene su prednosti lignoceluloznih sirovina kao biomase. Opisane su značajke trenutne proizvodnje bioetanola u svijetu i njegove upotrebe kao goriva.

Abstract (english)

Increased concern about oil supply and negative impact of fossil fuels on the environment has put pressure on society to find alternative, renewable sources of energy. Biofuels as biodiesel, biogas and bioethanol are currently seen as only path to sustainable development. This work deals with ethanol production from sugar, starchy and lignocellulosic biomass. Brazil and USA are the most prominent producers of first generation bioethanol but some advantages of lignocellulosic biomass are quoted in this work. There are also mentioned current characteristics of global bioethanol production and its usage as biofuel.
