Bioethanol production from agricultural wastes

This review paper summarizes the best method for the utilization of agricultural wastes as raw material for the production of bioethanol. Agricultural wastes are rich in sugar and complex carbohydrates that makes it suitable source to carry out the fermentation process. Bioethanol is widely used in industries such as, chemical, pharmaceutical and food for various purposes especially as sterilizer.

In an endeavour of exploring alternative energy sources to petroleum based fuels, bioethanol (ethanol derived from biomass) is considered as the most promising renewable fuel because of its potential to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 86% and higher octane (ability to resist compression) rating than gasoline. Present investigation was aimed at bioconversion of paddy straw to ethanol using partially purified fungal cellulases. A variety of soil samples were tested for the presence of cellulolytic fungal strains using enrichment culture technique.

Lignocellulosic biomass bioethanol production, commonly referred to as Second Generation biofuels, using agricultural residues, forest residues, energy feedstocks, municipalities, and other waste crop solids is considered as a promising alternative energy source in order to minimize reliance on limited fossil sources, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental pollutions. Bioethanol from food based materials may lead to „„food vs fuel” conflict with the increase of world population.
