Cover Story: Converting biomass closer to its production area is an alternative idea to a large centralized biorefinery plant. For such on-site conversion processes, we propose to combine high-temperature fermentation and membrane separation. This process is portable and simple to operate. High-temperature fermentation does not require cooling water and has a low risk of contamination. Dehydration membranes permeate almost only water. Accordingly, the dilute ethanol solution after fermentation is concentrated by flowing along the membrane. One of the keys to realizing this process is the development of membranes with high durability. View this paper
