This paper investigates bioethanol production from switchgrass, focusing on enhancement of efficiency through various pretreatment methods and comparing two processes: simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF) separate hydrolysis (SHF). Physical, chemical, biological processes are applied to enhance the breakdown switchgrass’s lignocellulosic structure. Effects pretreatments, enzymatic hydrolysis, ethanol yield discussed in detail. The comparative analysis reveals that SSF yields higher outputs within shorter times by integrating into a single process. In contrast, SHF offers more control separating these stages. highlights achieves efficiently, although it might restrict SHF’s operational flexibility. study aims provide comprehensive overview current methods, offering insights their scalability, economic viability, potential environmental benefits. findings expected contribute ongoing discussions developments renewable bioenergy solutions, supporting advancing sustainable efficient techniques.
