Liquid Hot Water Pretreatment of Miscanthus X giganteus for the Sustainable Production of Bioethanol

The production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass provides an alternative to fossil fuels. In this study, liquid hot water (LHW)-pretreated Miscanthus x giganteus (MxG) was used to produce bioethanol through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). MxG was pretreated at temperature...
