Abstract
The current broad need to bring new energy sources, especially in the transportation sector due to economic and population growth, causes different sources to be sought to produce fuels. In this sense, second-generation bioethanol from different biomasses has been gaining prominence since it allows the use of nonfood feedstocks, such as lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural and forestry residues, as well as secondary wastes. In addition to these lignocellulosic residues, this chapter will also address pectin- and starch-rich raw materials generated daily on a large scale worldwide. Second-generation bioethanol (2G) has gained space in several countries, known for not competing with cultivars intended for human and animal food, increasing production to replace fossil fuels, and waste recovery. However, there are still some difficulties to be overcome regarding low productivity compared to others. This underperformance may be linked to different factors, such as the quality of waste, selection of the fermenting microorganisms, and presence of inhibitor components during the last production stage. Thus, mastering the knowledge on residual biomasses is imperative to a highly efficient first stage of 2G ethanol production, providing reduction through process optimization.
