An ethanol plant is being planned to produce 100,000 metric tons of fuel ethanol per year, using corn as the raw material. a. Design a conceptual process for the ethanol plant. b. Estimate how much corn is needed per year for the ethanol plant. c. Estimate how much cropland is required to produce enough corn for the ethanol plant. d. Estimate how much net energy can be produced through the corn-to-ethanol process. e. Estimate how much less greenhouse gas emission can be achieved when the produced ethanol is consumed as automobile fuel in comparison with the consumption of gasoline with equivalent amount of energy production
