| Abstract | ||
There is increasing demand for bioethanol fuel in all over the world now days because they allow the mitigation of green house gases, provides mean of energy independence and may even offer new employment possibilities. The aim of our project is to produce low cost ethanol by using waste like sugarcane bagasse (SB). In this study, ethanol was produced without using expensive commercial enzyme from sugarcane bagasse. Sugar analysis is done by Molisch’s & Fehling’s test. The percentage yield of synthesized biofuel in our case is 50%. |
