The last few decades have seen rapid growth in the use of the fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Production, on the other hand, has not increased to match the rise in consumption.

Due to limited availability of these resources, political instability in the Middle East, and recent catastrophic hurricanes. The situation only gets worse and energy prices only go up. Industrialized nations are now at the mercy of rouge and politically unstable nations in order to continue their economic prosperity.

And with global warming becoming more and more frightening, along with the environmental concerns of greenhouse gases, and health problems caused by fossil fuel emissions; oil, gas, and coal are fast becoming less and less attractive energy sources.

As a result -
Global governments along with the energy industry have stepped up its funding and support for the development of alternative energy sources, such as Cellulose Ethanol.

Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, and China have also jumped on board the cellulose ethanol bandwagon and are investing billions of dollars in process technology and production.

Cellulose ethanol has the potential to be the alternative fuel the world has been looking for to supplement or replace fossil fuels.

If you could go back and get in on the start of great trends like Google, Wal-Mart, Starbucks, or Microsoft, wouldn't you?

Well - the next great energy trend has started and now is the time to get in, don't wait around for the cellulose ethanol market to take off and try to jump in at the end.

So ask yourself this -
If you had a chance to get in on the ground floor of the next big energy boom, wouldn't you?

In the Grimm Brother's fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin spins straw into gold. Thanks to advances in biotechnology, researchers can now transform straw, and other plant wastes, into "green" gold - cellulosic ethanol.

Recent technological developments are not only improving yields but also driving down production cost, bringing us nearer to the day when cellulosic ethanol could replace expensive, imported "black gold" with a sustainable, domestically produced biofuel.

While chemically identical to ethanol produced from corn or soybeans, cellulose ethanol exhibits a net energy content three times higher than corn ethanol and emits a low net level of greenhouse gases. And biorefinery plant investment is increasing, bringing the costs down even more.

And -

The raw material is plentiful. Cellulose is present in every plant, in the form of straw, grass, and wood. Most of these "bio-mass" products are currently discarded.

How much money could you make if you invested in the solution to the worlds growing energy demands?

It is estimated that 323 million tons of cellulose containing raw materials that could be used to create ethanol are thrown away each year. If you're going to be one of the many who make a killing in cellulose ethanol market then.

Ethanol Facts:
Solar energy and wind power are great alternatives, but 40% of total energy consumption is dedicated to transportation and windmills and bulky solar panels aren't being attached to car and trucks any time soon.

The Departments of Energy and Agriculture, estimates that 1.3 billion tons of biomass feedstock is potentially available in the U.S. for the production of biofuels. This is enough biomass feedstock to displace approximately 30 percent of current gasoline consumption on a sustainable basis.

Ethanol results in fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than gasoline. The higher the amount of ethanol blended with gasoline the lower the resulting GHG emissions. Cellulosic ethanol has the potential to reduce GHG emissions by up to 86 percent.

Biofuels have been commercially successful in several other countries. Brazil (ethanol) and Germany (biodiesel) are two examples. In Brazil, "Eighty percent of 2005 production (ethanol) is anticipated to meet national demands (transportation fuels). "In Germany, the last ten years consumption and production of biodiesel has increased several fold. In 2004, 1.18 million tons were produced, up 45 percent from 2003 and an additional 500,000 tonnes are planned for 2005.

Cellulosic ethanol is produced from a wide variety of non-edible plant materials, including corn stover, cereal straws, sawdust, paper pulp, and switchgrass. Cellulosic ethanol could be produced in every region of the country using locally grown materials, while producing a fuel that creates less greenhouse gases than corn-based ethanol. Within the last year, DOE has announced that it will invest $1 billion in biofuels research and development, $114 million in small-scale cellulosic refineries, $405 million in bioenergy centers, and $385 million in commercial-scale cellulosic refineries.
