how starch and cellulose are treated to allow them to be used by the yeast? One potential ethanol feedstock is starch. Starch molecules are made up of long chains of glucose molecules. Thus‚ starchy materials can also be fermented after breaking starch molecules into simple glucose molecules. Examples of starchy materials commonly used around the world for ethanol production include cereal grains‚ potato‚ sweet potato‚ and cassava. A great amount of ethanol fuel is currently produced by starch

This paper states why energy insecurity is a problem in Indonesia‚ how it was identified‚ its causes and the current responses to solve this problem. The engineering solutions would focus on sustainability and affordability‚ without compromising future generation energy needs in Indonesia. International Energy Agency defines energy security as the “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at affordable prices”. Currently Indonesia faces the lack of long term energy security. This is evident
