Future Modes of Fuel Bioethanol Industry

Abstract

The fuel bioethanol industry is one of the strategic emerging industries that China focuses on cultivating and developing. Against the background of the country’s deep integration of industrialization and informatization, intelligent and safety production, which can be realized relying on China’s advantages in the Industrial Internet and 5G technology and supported by new technologies such as big data, digital twins, and blockchain, can promote the high-quality development of the fuel bioethanol industry in China. This paper summarizes and analyzes the status and problems of the fuel bioethanol industry, and proposes the general idea for future modes in intelligent production, safety production, and industrial management of the fuel bioethanol industry. The development of the fuel bioethanol industry should be guided at the national strategic level and requires cooperation among the state, local governments, and enterprises, thus to promote the characteristic, joint, and intelligent development of bioethanol industrial bases. The cooperation between industry, universities, and research institutions should be strengthened to innovate production modes and technologies and to promote international competitiveness. Furthermore, key technologies should be developed to realize the production of fuel bioethanol using cellulose-based biomass as the raw material, thereby providing strategic reserves for ensuring national food security.
