The pursuit of sustainable and renewable energy sources has directed significant attention towards bioethanol production. Bioethanol, a form of ethanol derived from biomass, is recognized for its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. Among various biomass sources, Oryza sativa L. (rice) has emerged as a promising candidate due to its abundant availability and high cellulose content. This study aims to enhance the efficiency of bioethanol production from rice biomass through innovative process improvements.
