Abstract: In this work, new halophyte plant biomass is proposed as raw material for bioenergy production. The bioconversion process of lignocellulosic materials into ethanol needs a pretreatment before enzymatic hydrolysis of vegetal material to increase the yield of fermentable sugars. Various mechanical and chemical pre-treatment processes were investigated in an attempt to facilitate the solubilization of large fraction of hemicelluloses.
