Yes. Bactranol or Bacterial Transformation ethanol can be used to convert cellulose directly into ethanol using complex marine bacterium that can convert waste green material into ethanol. This is a method of Ceetol production. Ceetol is the abbreviation for Cellulosic Ethanol. (CeEtOl - Cellulosic Ethanol OL - denotes Alcohol)

"Cellulosic" means that the material contains cellulose. Cellulose is found in wood, paper, grass and other plant matter. If it is used as a starting point for producing something, such as ethanol, that would make it a feedstock.

How about switchgrass for ethanol production? Start now, but it requires little water, and cellulosic ethanol is the best bet.
