Abstract Ethanol is already used as biofuel in different countries such as Brazil, United States of America, Canada and France. Ethanol may be directly added to the gasoline or in ETBE (ethyl-tertio-butylether) form, synthesized with isobutene. In this paper, are presented different parameters which control the ethanolic fermentation and different schemes of processes using starchy vegetals (corn, wheat), sugar plants (sugar beet, sugar cane) and the lignocellulosic biomass. Some economical aspects are covered and the main characteristics of ethanol and ETBE as biofuel are summarized.
