| Abstract | Hydrothermal energy is an appropriate form of energy for alcohol production because: 1) It is a technically feasible method to convert a non-portable source of energy into a portable form using commercial available technology. 2) A large amount of hydrothermal energy is available in a temperature range suitable for alcohol production. 3) Alcohol production with hydrothermal energy is cost and energy efficient. |
