The rising cost of fuel oil compelled the industry to search for
alternative fuels and biomass and hence the production of
fermentable sugars from renewable lignocellulosic waste materials,
which can be used as feedstock for the production of biofuel.
Ethanol is a high octane, water free alcohol produced from
renewable resources like wheat straw, rice husk, corn, wood and
other biomaterials. Ethanol is most often blended with gasoline -
usually as a 10 per cent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol.
Ethanol blended fuels like gasohol, act as natural antifreeze, and
appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. As well,
ethanol is used commercially in producing food grade vinegar, food
extracts, pharmaceutical products. In the last decade, most
research has tended to focus on developing an economical and
ecofriendly ethanol production process. Much emphasis is being
given to the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass and
other forms of agricultural and forestry residues
