NOVELTY - Distributed production method for producing sugar water and ethanol comprises: (a) providing feedstock of cellulose, hemicellulose, and/or lignocellulose to portable feedstock processing plants; (b) processing the cellulose, hemicellulose, and/or lignocellulose to produce sugar water and byproduct; (c) separating sugar water; (d) concentrating separated sugar water; (e) transporting the concentrated sugar water from processing plants to centralized ethanol producing plant; and (f) producing ethanol from the transported sugar water at the centralized ethanol producing plant.    USE - The method is useful for producing sugar water and ethanol (claimed), where the ethanol is used to produce wet cattle feed, dry cattle feed, 190 proof ethanol, 200 proof ethanol, direct injection fuel and liquid carbon dioxide.    ADVANTAGE - The method: produces byproducts that are used as animal feed, animal bedding, compost (claimed) or bio-fuel; produces ethanol that reduces the transportation costs associated with the production of ethanol from feedstock; reduces the tonnage and costs of labor, fuel, repair and maintenance; produces non-hazardous material; reduces the storage requirements at ethanol producing plant; reduces environmental impact caused by storage of feedstock, disposal of byproducts, waste products and waste water, and the transportation of feedstock to an ethanol producing plant; reduces size, land acquisition cost and ethanol producing plant construction cost and improve efficiency of the plant; utilizes largely untapped resources as feedstock; reduces treatment requirements; and utilizes feed stock that is more abundant, less cost and containing greater potential energy.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Distributed production method for producing sugar water and ethanol, comprises either: (a) providing a feedstock comprising cellulose, hemicellulose, and/or lignocellulose to each of many portable feedstock processing plants located at or near a feedstock providing site, (b) processing the cellulose, hemicellulose, and/or lignocellulose to produce a sugar water and at least one byproduct, where the processing comprises mechanical destruction, pretreatment, and/or enzymatic hydrolysis, (c) separating the sugar water produced from the cellulose, hemicellulose, lignocellulose and/or byproducts at feedstock processing plants, (d) concentrating the separated sugar water at feedstock processing plants, (e) transporting the concentrated sugar water from processing plants to centralized ethanol producing plant and (f) producing ethanol from the transported sugar water at the centralized ethanol producing plant; or steps (a)-(c) as above per se, transporting the separated sugar water from processing plants to the ethanol producing plant and producing ethanol from the transported sugar water.
