Current uncertainty about petroleum supplies and the third sharp rise in petroleum prices in the last 20 years have returned us to the fact that all modern, and many developing, countries have become utterly dependent on petroleum imports for their energy needs. No country has used fully the lessons of the recent past to develop an industrial base for the production of alternative fuels from domestic resources. Many liquid and several gaseous fuels can be produced from the fermentation of treated biomass. The commercial success of this approach appears increasingly assured due primarily to the aggressive application of research and engineering resources to key steps in conversion processes.
