Bioethanol has become by nowadays a common-used organic agent by thermal installations in direct modes, like dual or single alternative fuel for classic engines, or in indirect modes, as primary source in fuel cells, or operating thermal energy recovery systems, which is the subject of the present work. Among all the other well-known industrial obtaining methods, avoiding higher costs and improving process efficiency, the enzymatic fermentation of the saccharide components coming from wooden biomass ensures a more profitable way to produce bioethanol, with the requested properties in order to operate as a thermal agent in an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) installation. The aim of using this system is to increase the efficiency of a tractor-turbocharged Diesel engine by its waste heat recovery (WHR).
