Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material source for ethanol production. Particularly, the sugarcane bagasse (SCB) coming from the sugar waste of the refinery is very rich in lignocellulose that can be biochemically transformed into ethanol. However, its recalcitrant structure necessitates a pretreatment step to break up the lignocellulosic matrix, thus improving the accessibility of hydrolytic enzymes to carbohydrates for sugar production.

In addition to its effects on air quality, stubble burning also affects soil fertility (through the destruction of its nutrients), economic development and climate. The crop stubbles (if managed properly) could provide immense economic benefits to the farmers and protect the environment from the severe pollution. Some of the alternative management practices include the incorporation of the stubble into the soil, use of stubble as fuel in power plants, use as raw material for pulp and paper industries, or as biomass for biofuel production.
