Sugarcane bioethanol — R&D for Productivity and Sustainability

HYDROLYSIS OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS

Quintero-Ramirez, Rodolfo;

Resumo:

lignocellulosic biomass can significantly reduce the world dependence on oil, so it has become a research area of great interest to many governments, academic groups and companies. Today it is possible due to advances in agriculture and biotechnology to propose the inexpensively production of biofuels, especially bio-ethanol based on lignocellulosic biomass as well as other biomass feedstocks. So far, Brazil2 and USA4 have made significant advances in the production and use of bioethanol, in the first case derived from sugarcane (currently 15 billion liters of ethanol are produced) and the second uses corn (for 2017 it is expected to reach a production of 132 billion of liters). This situation has caused a controversy in the use of soil, water and other resources between food vs energy. For this reason in several parts of the world, in universities and companies, there are research programs trying to understand the best way to use lignocellulosic materials for production for bioethanol and other biofuels.
