 Why we need ethanol for petrol production and why we need lignocellulose for that ethanol

production

 Lignocellulose to ethanol conversion is Green/eco friendly

 We cannot use the usually used source of lignocellulose, it is a food source. Other biomass,
which is usually burnt or thrown away, can be used in this way.

 Lignocellulose to ethanol conversion has garnered major interest as a green, eco-friendly


method of ethanol production. The complex structure of lignocellulose has to be broken down
in ord

 Many methods have been developed for pretreating lignocellulosic feedstocks, but only some of
them seem to be promising. These pretreatment methods include dilute acid pretreatment,
steam explosion (CO2 explosion), pH controlled water pretreatment, ammonia fiber expansion,
ammonia recycle percolation (ARP), and lime pretreatment (Mosier et al. 2005; Wyman et al.
2005; Yang and Wyman(2008)
