Abstract
The cost of bioethanol production from wheat was found to be very sens itive to the price of wheat. When wheat is purchased at a typical curr ent UK price of pound 115/tonne, the net cost of ethanol was calculate d to be 38.3p per litre, but growing wheat on set aside at pound 45/to nne could result in a net ethanol cost of 21p/litre.
