Cellulosic Ethanol

Cellulosic ethanol is a type of biofuel made from plant materials that contain cellulose, like grass, wood, and leftover agricultural waste. Unlike traditional ethanol, which is often made from food crops like corn or sugarcane, cellulosic ethanol uses non-food sources, making it more sustainable and reducing competition with food production. The process involves breaking down the tough plant fibers into sugars, which are then fermented to produce ethanol. This renewable fuel can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to cleaner energy solutions.
