Abstract
Current energy demand, rising oil prices, and the consequences of using fossil fuels have increased the desire for alternate energy sources. Bioethanol obtained from new feedstocks has gained attention and led to the production of advanced bioethanol over conventional. In terms of sustainability, the production of so-called advanced bioethanol has various advantages over typical bioethanol production procedures. This could involve the utilization of non-food crops or residual biomass as a raw material, as well as a greater ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The current chapter focuses on recent advances in the production of advanced bioethanol, highlighting current results from novel feedstock sources such as the municipal solid waste and certain industrial waste (e.g., residues from the paper industry, food, and beverage industries) and lignocellulosic feedstocks.
