DUBLIN, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Cellulosic Ethanol Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

Ethanol that is produced by converting sugar in cellulose is particularly known as cellulosic ethanol. It is produced from lignocellulose available in cellulosic materials such as wood and grass. Ethanol is the most commonly commended alternative or additive for gasoline and is produced through the fermentation process of cellulosic feedstock. It is also gaining much attention because its feedstock can be grown anywhere and also can be sourced from agricultural waste residues. It provides a greener alternative to corn ethanol along with using feedstock that does not take advantage of food meant for human consumption.

The analysts forecast the Global Cellulosic Ethanol market to grow at a CAGR of 53.3 percent over the period 2013-2018.

In terms of feedstock, the Global Cellulosic Ethanol market can be segmented into four: Agricultural Residue, Forest Residue, Energy Crops, and Organic Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).
