Abstract: Second generation ethanol (E2G), also called bioethanol, green ethanol or cellulosic ethanol, is an advanced biofuel, made from residues left over from the manufacturing process of common ethanol (first generation ethanol, E1G) and sugar. It is a product that uses low environmental impact raw materials that would otherwise be discarded and has excellent logistical benefits. It is also considered one of the fuels with the lowest carbon footprint in the world. Chemically, second generation ethanol (E2G) is like first generation ethanol (E1G), the difference is in the way they are produced. E2G uses lignocellulosic plant biomass, reusing plant waste, such as straw, leaves, bagasse and wood chips.
