Q

What is the argument that fermentation is carbon neutral?

A

6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
C6H12O6 -> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
2C2H5OH + 6O2 -> 4CO2 + 6H2O

17
Q

Why is fermentation not carbon neutral?

A

Fossil fuels are needed to power the machinery, fertilise the crop, harvest eh crop

18
Q

What is the disadvantages to the use of crops for the production of fuel?

A

Deforestation
Land use to grow crops cant be used to grow food
Loss of habitat
