Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of ethanol from a carbonaceous feedstock; wherein the carbonaceous feedstock is first converted to synthesis gas which is then converted to ethanoic acid, which is then esterified and which is then hydrogenated to produce ethanol. L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'éthanol amélioré à partir d'une charge carbonée. Ladite charge carbonée est d'abord convertie en gaz de synthèse, lui-même ensuite converti en acide éthanoïque, lui-même estérifié et hydrogéné pour produire un éthanol.
