Environmental aspects of ethanol as a biofuel
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2023.02.093-100
Abstract
The use of bioethanol as a fuel reduces emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Due to environmental concerns, the search for sustainable fuel alternatives has become mandatory, with the most promising alternative being the use of biomass as an energy source and also to reduce CO2 emissions. Bioethanol is the main type of biofuel that can be produced from lignocellulosic materials. Its production usually involves a hydrolysis-fermentation consisting of three main steps: pretreatment to produce fermentable sugars, fermentation to produce bioethanol, and a separation process to produce highly concentrated bioethanol. One of them is the ratio of cost to the target volume of production, due to pre-processing operations.
