OVERVIEW AND EVALUATION OF FUEL ETHANOL FROM CELLULOSIC BIOMASS: Technology, Economics, the Environment, and Policy
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that ethanol may be more compatible with fuel cell-powered vehicles than has generally been assumed, and it is likely that vehicles can be configured so that exhaust emissions of priority pollutants are very low for ethanol-burning engines, although the same can probably be said for most other fuels under consideration.
