Abstract: Steam explosion (SE) and nitrogen explosive decompression (NED) for pretreatment of common aspen (Populus tremula), were investigated in their potential to increase bioethanol and biogas yields from hardwood materials. The pretreated biomass was used in a separate enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation steps, and in biogas potential measurements. Parameters describing biogas production, glucose and ethanol yields, hydrolysis and fermentation efficiencies were used as indicators to assess the efficiency of pretreatments.
