Bioethanol Production Efficiency from Sorghum Waste Biomass

The problem of global warming is still a major issue, alongside shrinking oil reserves. A great alternative to fossil fuels offered by biofuels, such as bioethanol from lignocellulosic plants. sorghum biomass can be effectively used in many industrial directions. It possible use every part this plant; the grain for food production and straw energy purposes, i.e., bioethanol. aim study was analyze possibilities five varieties biomass, which waste product seed harvesting. yields cultivars three-year vegetation period; amount cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin sorghum; ethanol obtained per hectare were evaluated. observed that highest average yield all cultivars, except GK Emese, found second year study. Sweet Caroline 9.48 m3∙ha−1. In addition, significant differences content hemicellulose tested years cellulose first third years. discussed results confirmed detailed statistical analyses, including combined matrices Pearson correlation coefficients (crp) cluster analysis. summary, usefulness studied demonstrated.
