Combined process for ethanol fermentation at high-solids loading and biogas digestion from unwashed steam-exploded corn stover.
TL;DR: A combined process was designed for the co-production of ethanol and methane from unwashed steam-exploded corn stover to improve overall content utilization and extract a greater yield of lignocellulosic biomass compared to ethanol fermentation alone.
