Biotechnology of Lignocellulose

Abstract

A shortage of fossil energy is considered a serious problem. Bioenergy, derived from renewable lignocellulosic resources, has attracted much interest from governments around the world owing to its desirable features: a secure source of supply, limited conflict with land use for food and feed production, and low pollution. Considerable progress has been achieved in bioenergy production, including new methods proposed, new processes developed, new projects established, and so on. However, there are still challenges that need further investigation. The most controversial problem is technical and economical feasibility. This chapter introduces the background, status, and development of bioethanol, biohydrogen, and biogas production and points out problems that exist in relation to them.
