Because oil and gas ate not renewable resources, at some point in time alternative feedstocks will become attractive however, this point appears to be fat in the future. Of the alternatives, only biomass is a renewable resource (see Fuels frombiomass). The only chemical produced from biomass in commercial quantities at the present time is ethanol by fermentation. The cost of ethanol from biomass is not yet competitive with synthetically produced ethanol from ethylene. Ethanol (qv) can be converted into a number of petrochemical derivatives and could become a significant source.

Both cell culture with a lipophilic extraction phase and with a polar extraction phase have been reported to be helpful for the accumulation and detection of secondary substances [7,8]. Plant cell cultures release lipophilic and volatile substances such as ethylene, ethanol, and acetaldehyde. The addition of a lipophilic phase to the culture medium can be used as a means of accumulating and detecting these substances. Maisch et al. [8] found that the addition of XAD-4 resin to Nicotiana tabacum cultures enhanced the production of phenolic secondary metabolites several times compared to the adsorbent-free control. Kim and Chang [9] reported in situ extraction for enhanced shikonin production by Lithospermum erythrorhizon. When n-hexadecane was added to the cultivation, higher specific shikonin productivity was obtained than that from the cultures of free cells without extraction. They also suggested that n-hexadecane addition at an early stage in calcium alginate immobilized cell cultures was effective for shikonin production. Most of the produced shikonin was dissolved in n-hexadecane, so it would reduce the costs for shikonin separation.

Synthetic ethanol is now produced by hydration of ethylene. Ethanol is one of important chemicals. Though ethanol synthesis from H2/CO was extensively studied so far, there are a few reports about ethanol synthesis from H2/CO2. Recently, some efficient catalysts for ethanol formation from H2/CO2 were developed by Arakawa and his co-workers. 

Photo-oxidative decarboxylation of indole-3-acetic acid in the presence of pyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine W-oxide has been described. Photoelimination of carbon dioxide has been observed in a variety of esters including aromatic esters, substituted l-naphthylmethyl alkanoates and ethyl a-oxocarboxylates,and is one pathway described in a review of the photochemistry of 2(3H)- and 2(5H) furanones.Ethylene, ethanol and carbon dioxide are the only... 

Most people think that industrial ethanol is produced from the fermentation of carbohydrates such as molasses and grains. But almost all industrially produced ethanol today is synthesized from the hydration of ethylene. Ethanol made from ethylene is purer and cheaper. 

Carbonylation of a mixture of ethylene, ethanol, and diphenylacetylene in the presence of rhodium carbonyl gives the butenolide (10). 2 Another formation of a butenolide, that of compound (12), is by flash vacuum pyrolysis of diphenylmethyl propiolate, Ph2CH02C H. It has been suggested that the ester isomerizes to the methylene-carbene (11), which yields the product by intramolecular insertion. Ozonization of tetraphenyl-... 

Considering the myriad potential reactions which might cascade down from these simple homolytic bond scissions, it can be shown that various small molecule products are possible, as well as grafting, chain extension, and crosslinking reactions. Such small molecule species might include CO, CO2, ethylene, ethanol, water, acetaldehyde and ethylene glycol.
