Abstract
Welcome to the world of bioethanol revolution, in response to the soaring global energy demand, the production of bioethanol has taken center stage, captivating the attention of governments, academia, and the private sector alike. Over the years, research in this field has witnessed exponential growth, paving the way for sustainable energy production. Ethanol, the front-runner in renewable energy, can be derived from a plethora of sources. In this abstract, we will explore the exciting advancements and emerging trends in the production of bioethanol, shedding light on the promising future of sustainable energy. Bioethanol production presents a cost-effective solution by utilizing the abundance of agricultural resources. These resources serve as the foundation for producing bioethanol from various biomass sources. In this context, we evaluate the raw materials used, including sucrose-based, starchy-based, and perennial grasses. By exploring these options, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse range of agricultural feedstocks that contribute to the production of bioethanol, this paper delves into the multiple processes involved in the production of bioethanol from agricultural base biomass, unveiling a range of possibilities for harnessing renewable energy. The key steps that were thoroughly examined include pretreatment, which encompasses both physical and chemical methods, hydrolysis, direct fermentation, and saccharification. These steps serve as crucial components in the overall bioethanol production process from agricultural base biomass. By understanding and optimizing each of these stages, we can unlock the full potential of sustainable energy generation. The paper goes beyond exploring the production processes and delves into the different generations of bioethanol, each with its unique components. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive overview of the composition of agricultural and forest residues, shedding light on their potential as valuable resources for bioethanol production. Moreover, it highlights the significance of the agricultural sector in Nigeria's economy, emphasizing the importance of energy for enhancing productivity and efficiency. The integration of bioethanol as an energy source has the potential to propel this sector forward, fostering sustainable development and contributing to the overall growth of the Nigerian economy. By harnessing the power of bioethanol, Nigeria can tap into its energy potential, promoting energy utilization and creating a positive impact on various industries.
