Abstract: This work deals with the production of ethanol from phosphoric acid-impregnated, steam-exploded Eucalyptus benthamii. The whole conversion process, addressing pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis of the whole slurry, and fermentation of both C5 and C6-sugars including a presaccharification step, is covered in this study.
