Title :

A Biorefinery Concept Incorporating Advanced Pretreatment and Consolidated Processing of Cellulose to Ethanol

Description :

The strategies discussed in this roadmap are based on first developing technologies to allow more energy-efficient and chemically benign enzymatic pretreatment. Saccharification and fermentation would be consolidated into a simple step and ultimately into a single organism or stable mixed culture (consolidated bioprocessing), thus removing multiple whole steps in converting biomass to ethanol.
