Profitability Using Second-Generation Bioethanol in Gasoline Produced in Mexico

Gasoline produced in Mexico by the productive company of state Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) mainly uses oil-derived ethers as oxygenators to reach Mexican Regulatory ‘Framework’s octane number. An alternative complying with these regulations could be use bioethanol an oxygenate. However, a gasoline component, this affect ‘Mexico’s food markets since sugar cane, and grains are primary inputs for local production. The main objective study is evaluate whether bioethanol, from corn stubble, additive profitable Mexico, perspective evaluation supply chain finances. purpose work contribute definition advantages limitations existence second-generation market Lignocellulosic biomass integrated into national production Mexico. starts theoretical research define stubble raw material, set up on its availability feasibility determined based geographic information system (GIS), through agricultural forecast approach, well integration costs financial analysis. results show that technically viable, but cost not competitive yet.
