Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass: a review

Abstract

Bioethanol production from Lignocellulosic biomass (LB) holds great potential in achieving goals of sustainable energy. This research review paper provides an overview of the methods and advancements in this field by analyzing relevant studies and references. Renewable energy source, like bioethanol, has tremendous potential to mitigate environmental issues and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass a carbon neutral and abundant feedstock opens options for ethanol production due to its low cost and high cellulosic content. Methodologies for bioethanol production from Lignocellulosic biomass, challenges and limitations, case studies and experimental results, environmental concerns and economic assessments are discussed in this research review paper.
