Abstract:The development of biofuel from cellulose-rich corncobs holds great potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and producing energy that is sustainable. This study investigated the recycling potential of corncob residues from xylose production to renewable energy cellulosic ethanol. Enzymatic digestion studies were conducted at three different scales (100 g, 4 kg, and 2 t), with 25% dry solids yielding consistent glucose release (>130 g/L), indicating industrial potential. The glucose was then subjected t… Show more
