Mohd Nawaz Khan, Akhilesh Kumar Dwivedi, Bharat Gupta

Abstract :

Agricultural wastes are produced during the production of agri products at pilot scale. These wastes are daily produced and get accumulated into the environment and these wastes contain different types of toxic compounds which could disturb the ecological balance by elevating the emissions of green house gases. Non renewable sources of energy are depleting at a very faster rate so these agriwastes could be an alternative source for the production of renewable energy (green energy ). These wastes could be used as a primary raw material having less cost for the development of other products having a demanding economical value. Various processes like physical treatment and chemical treatment methods are involve in the production of bioethanol from agriwastes. The production of bioethanol has positive merits but still the researchers are focusing on different methods and techniques to offer bioethanol more economical value.
