It looks as though the process could use other substances, once it is set up and running the waste products from brewing, processing sugar beet and other vetetables and probably fruits could be used, plus biomass from farms.
As the original process was discovered 100 years ago - the world could be a very different place if butanol had been introduced as a fuel for the still developing car industries, rather than petroleum.
Developing dwarf forms of grain might have been counter productive, if the straw could be used for fuel, devising a system for harvesting potato haulm might have made someone's fortune, or any of the other parts of plants not used for anything now could have become an important source of fuel.
