Abstract
A world-wide interest has been emerged in the commercial potential of using cellulolytic enzymes to generate glucose feedstock using lignocellulosic biomass which could further be converted into value added products. Employing cellulolytic enzymes, for bio-ethanol production from biomass has led to the development of an environmentally safe and sustainable technology. Concept of bio-refinery is emerging to replace already existing petro-refinery as the later is supposed to exhaust in near future. In this chapter, importance of cellulolytic enzymes for biomass conversion and its production aspects have been discussed.
