Research Advance in Fuel Ethanol Production by Cellulose

With the forthcoming global energy crisis,food crisis and environmental crisis,the production of fuel ethanol by renewable resource such as cellulose has brought about worldwide attention.Cellulose,instead of traditional grains,was used in fuel ethanol production,which could reduce production cost.And such plentiful renewable resource should be fully utilized.In this paper,the research advance in such field was introduced especially the pretreatment,the saccharification and the fermentation techniques.
