Abstract

Introduction Environmental impacts of petroleum exploration, as well as the increasing price of oil and gas, necessitate an alternative energy solution [1]. Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative source of energy because of a national abundance of renewable and sustainable feedstocks [2,3]. Biofuels produced from lignocellulosic biomass will enhance national security
