Integrated Biotechnological Production of EthanolaAnd Hydrogen Using Cashew Apple Bagasse as Feedstock

Short Introductive summary

Given the new energy needs, the emergence of new technologies, and the high generation of waste from agro-industries, necessary to develop more sustainable processes that make use of all fractions of the raw material. The development of new technologies that are capable of meeting energy demand, as well as strengthening the economy, aiming to reduce global environmental impacts and reuse natural waste is of paramount importance. Then, this study shows the use of cashew apple bagasse, an abundant waste from the agro-industry, as feedstock to produce ethanol and hydrogen for integrated processes. This study also aims to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations.
