Project objective
The objective of the project is to develop and test a technology for preparing lignocellulosic raw materials for biofuel production. The research covers the selection of pretreatment conditions, an assessment of the changes taking place in the biomass and of its suitability for methane fermentation (anaerobic digestion) and alcoholic fermentation. An important part of the work is the assessment of energy inputs and of the risk of forming compounds that may inhibit fermentation processes.
