Ethanol Production Project

Convert Wheat Straw to Bioethanol

Location: Erbil

Host: Oxfam Iraq

The Problem

The negative impact of fossil fuel emissions in the environment  

The Solution

This project aims to use the remains of the straw after the wheat harvesting period to produce bio-ethanol which can be used as a green energy instead of fossil fuel, they have produced it in the lab (through chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam) and they want to commercialize this product in higher scale and they are seeking for technical support and seed funding to scale-up this project.
