PPRODUCTION OF 2ND GENERATION BIOETHANOL FROM LUCERNE – OPTIMIZATION OF HYDROTHERMAL PRETREATMENT

PPRODUCTION OF 2ND GENERATION BIOETHANOL FROM LUCERNE – OPTIMIZATION OF HYDROTHERMAL PRETREATMENT

Lucerne (Medicago sativa) has many qualities associated with sustainable agriculture such as nitrogen fixation and high biomass yield. Therefore, there is interest in whether lucerne is a suitable biomass substrate for bioethanol production, and if hydrothermal pretreatment (HTT) of lucerne improves...
