Abstract: Agro-industrial lignocellulosic waste, an abundant source of non-food fermentable sugars, represent a potentially negative environmental impact due to unsuitable waste disposal issues, which can be attenuated when transformed to bioethanol. Several alternative processes have been developed for bioethanol production from a large variety of agro-industrial wastes (AIW) but the high economic costs of these technologies and variable substrate composition limit their implementation at commercial scale. Nevertheless, consolidated bioprocessing to produce bioethanol of second generation has been researched increasingly in recent years and it is, so far, the most promising fermentation approach for bioethanol production. Mexico ranks as one of the leading food producing countries worldwide with 818 agro-food products, 71 of which hold the first place by production volume at international level. However, strategies and specific actions for AIW management need to be incorporated. This paper discusses agro-industrial lignocellulosic waste potentials in Mexico for efficient production of second generation bioethanol using consolidated bioprocessing.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

The Catalytic Valorization of Lignin for the Production of Renewable Chemicals
TL;DR: Biomass is an important feedstock for the renewable production of fuels, chemicals, and energy, and it recently surpassed hydroelectric energy as the largest domestic source of renewable energy.
Supporting Online Material for: Ethanol Can Contribute To Energy and Environmental Goals
TL;DR: This article evaluated six representative analyses of fuel ethanol and found that current corn ethanol technologies are much less petroleum-intensive than gasoline but have greenhouse gas emissions similar to those of gasoline, and that large-scale use of ethanol for fuel will almost certainly require cellulosic technology.

TL;DR: It is already clear that large-scale use of ethanol for fuel will almost certainly require cellulosic technology and new metrics that measure specific resource inputs are developed, but further research into environmental metrics is needed.
