The majority of the ethanol in the US is produced from corn starch. With the US Department of Energy’s target that 30% of the fuel in the US is produced from renewable resources by 2030, the anticipated demand for corn starch will quickly exceed the current production of corn. This, plus the concern that less grain will become available for food and feed purposes, necessitates the use of other feedstocks for the production of ethanol. For the very same reasons, there is increasing research activity and growing interest in many other biomass crops. ...Genetic Improvement of Bio-Energy Crops focuses on the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass, which includes corn stover, biomass from dedicated annual and perennial energy crops, and trees as well as a number of important biomass crops. The biomass is typically pretreated through thermochemical processing to make it more amenable to hydrolysis with cellulolytic enzymes. The enzymatic hydrolysis yields monomeric sugars that can be fermented to ethanol by m | | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | | 关键词 | Bio-energy; Bio-energy Crops; enzymes; genome; lignocellulosic biomass; maize; plant genetics; plant scienc | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-70805-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-2422-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-70805-8 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2008 |
