I don't know but you need to find out the carbohydrate content of the bamboo first. Then the theoretical maximum yield of ethanol is about 50% ( (46.068/44.01) x 100% )of the mass of carbohydrate. This is assuming you can convert all the carbohydrate into fermentable sugars. Then you can work backwards. You will have to account for dry and wet weights depending on how the information turns up initially. I do not know much more than this. I assume that different bamboo will have different carbohydrate levels and that this will also change throughout the seasons and age of the culm. There are also probably many different methods with different yields. Hope that helps. If you find out more I'd love to know because this relates directly to some chemistry that I teach.
