Comparative study of hydrothermal pretreatment of eucalyptus and oil palm empty fruit bunch for ethanol fermentation

Effective energy production from lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most important research topics to employing biomass as a widely used energy source. Using hydrothermal pretreatment, ethanol can be effectively produced from the lignocellulosic biomass. However, the effects of using different fe...
