In this note it is a question of receiving fuel for cars from straw. At this technology straw heats up to high temperature and to it special enzymes thanks to what are formed sugar which under the influence of bacteria turn into ethanol are added. It can be used as automobile fuel.
Processings about five tons of straw suffice to one car for a year of driving.

Experts from agricultural university of the Netherlands city of Vakheningen opened a way of receiving fuel for cars from straw.
Scientists of this university thought up technology according to which straw heats up to high temperature, to it special enzymes thanks to what are formed sugar are added. By means of bacteria these sugar turn into ethanol which can be used as automobile fuel.
Thus about a third of volume of straw goes to a waste which, burning down, give the energy necessary for receiving sugars from other two thirds. Besides, surpluses of energy which can be applied in other purposes, for example, to electricity development are formed.
Processings about five tons of straw will suffice one car for a year of driving, scientists note. According to them, received from sugar straw by means of microorganisms it is possible to turn into dairy acid which is used for production of the plastic self-collapsing in the nature which is not putting an environmental damage also.
