Nonenzymatic ethanol production in sustainable ways

“…Due to the azeotropic nature of the ethanol–water mixture, some hyperbranched polymers, molecular sieves and/or membranes are used to separate ethanol from the mixture in an energy-saving manner. 215–217 To achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement, great efforts have been made to employ renewable carbon and hydrogen resources for ethanol production. Through biomass gasification processes, renewable syngas is produced for the production of ethanol via direct or indirect routes.…”
