A cellulosic ethanol production process. Implementations may include
providing a raw cellulose stream by mixing a waste cellulose feed and an
algae cellulose feed and hydrolyzing the raw cellulose stream to form a
hydrolyzed cellulose stream by reacting the raw cellulose stream with one
or more fungi from the phylum Neocallimastigomycota. Implementations may
include liquefying the hydrolyzed cellulose stream to form a raw sugars
stream, separating xylitol from the raw sugars stream and fermenting the
sugars stream to form a raw ethanol stream by reacting the sugars stream
with a yeast feed in at least one fermenter. Implementations also may
include separating ethanol from the raw ethanol, generating an algae
stream by reacting the xylitol stream with algae in at least one algae
bioreactor, and reacting the algae stream in at least one biodiesel
reactor to produce the algae cellulose feed and a biodiesel stream.
