Abstract
- Better living standards, population growth, and expanding urbanization escalate the energy requirement tremendously. Declining stockpile of nonrenewable fossil fuels and its severe impact on environment have created huge consciousness among government, researchers, and industries to develop alternative renewable energy sources. Bioethanol has been considered as one of the most efficient alternative liquid fuels to replace the existing conventional crude oil-based petrol. Among the different lignocellulosic biomass, agricultural residues especially sugarcane tops (SCT) are becoming a promising feedstock for bioethanol production. However, the presence of high amount of lignin possesses a major hurdle in converting this promising feedstock to bioethanol. Hence, this review paper summarizes the various pretreatment methods, hydrolysis, and fermentation techniques reported in the bioethanol production from underutilized SCT. From the overall studies, it was evident that the SCT can be used as a potential renewable feedstock for the production of fermentable sugars and bioethanol.
