Assessment of pre-treatment technologies for bio-ethanol production using multi-objective optimisation
… in the fuel. It is estimated that 3.3 Mt/year of sugarcane bagasse, a non-food biomass, could be available for biofuel production in South Africa if steam generation from bagasse at the sugarcane mills was more efficient (Lynd et al., 2003). Bagasse comprises lignocellulose which does not contain …
