in Harvard report on biofuels: Proceed with caution on The Iowa Independent
The liquid biofuel from glucose is not ethanol, but HEXANE. Glucose is the most abundant organic chemical:

Wood = glucose = hexane = 2,2-dimethylbutane, an 89 octane gasoline @ $1.20 per gallon.

There are 50 million acres around the Gulf Coast for growing 80 ton per acre high-biomass cane that yields 160 barrels of gasolines and chemical feedstocks per acre per year when run through a SUCRON unit. That is 8 billion barrels per year. The United States uses 7.6 billion barrels per year.

Funding is needed to build the pilot plant.
