Technical Abstract:
In 2006, about 5 billion gallons of ethanol were produced from corn starch in the U.S.A. Various agricultural residues such as corn stover, wheat straw, rice straw, and barley straw can serve as low-cost lignocellulosic feedstocks for conversion to fuel ethanol. In this presentation, current state of technology development for conversion of these agricultural residues to fuel ethanol will be reviewed. The prospects for commercial production of ethanol from lignocellulose will be discussed.
