Abstract

The need for alternative renewable resources has grown in response to rising energy demand and depleted petroleum sources. Integrated biorefinery is an ideal approach for this where production of bioethanol can be done along with different products. Though no doubt, there are many shortcomings in the way like higher production costs but development and advancements in different technical methods of saccharification and recovery can overcome such hurdles. This chapter focuses on the concept of biorefinery, different types of biorefineries, and production of bioethanol.
