Abstract
Bioethanol has the potential to address the energy crisis by replacing fossil fuels. The need for energy is increasing day by day as a result of the rising population and industrialization. Simultaneously, global bioethanol production is steadily increasing. Bioethanol production's environmental consequences are entirely reliant on substrate accessibility and conversion technology. Pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, sugar fermentation, and distillation are four steps that go into making bioethanol from agro-residues. Several hurdles and limits face these operations, including biomass transport and handling, as well as an effective pretreatment technique for separating lignin from lignocellulosic biomass residues. This chapter examines the present status of different bioethanol production technologies such as Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation, Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation, Simultaneous Saccharification and Co-fermentation, and Consolidated Bioprocessing.
