Abstract

The biomass replaces the petroleum as energy is involved in energy transformations. There are two grade transformations from the wheat which are the fuel ethanol and the marsh gas ferment. The study on their transformation mechanisms and how to improve their energy efficiency will be benefit for both the academic and practical significance. Studies have shown that at least 67.05% wheat energy changes into fuel ethanol and at least 15.46% the rest of accessory substance alcohol lees energy changes into marsh gas. The total energy transformation amount is not less than 82.51%.The ratio of the wheat fuel ethanol input to output is 1.04, and NEV is 1167 MJ. The resultshows the values of energy gain are positive.
