| Abstract: |
| In recent years, the significance of biofuels and biogas as sustainable energy options has grown exponentially, positioning them as pivotal alternatives to traditional sources of energy. These innovative solutions have emerged as the primary drivers of renewable energy, offering a multitude of benefits for both the environment and society at large. These resources help meet the growing demand for energy worldwide and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the production of bioethanol, enzymatic hydrolysis is a vital step that converts fermented sugars into the final fermentation process. To provide a more cost-effective method in enzymatic hydrolysis, more efficient enzymes are being researched and developed. Exploiting microbial catabolic biochemical reactions can be used in microbial fuel cells for complex renewable biomass and organic waste. In hydrolysis methods, various enzymatic strategies are employed to produce efficient bioethanol from different lignocellulosic biomass sources such as agricultural residues, woody feedstocks, and marine algae. This article examines the latest pathways of enzymatic hydrolysis, microbial fermentation, microbial fuel cells, and anaerobic digestion in the production of bioethanol/bioenergy from lignocellulosic biomass. |
