Producción de Bioetanol a partir de Elodea sp.

The dependence of countries on fossil fuels is increasing, but these are not renewable. In addition, the use of these fuels has increased the emission of greenhouse gases. Colombia must begin to look for other alternatives that overcome the deficiency in fuel, and whose source of production is renewable and this alternative does not compromise the agricultural resources used as food, such is the case of sugar cane. Invasive plants are characterized by eutrophication of water, causing environmental and water supply problems to the cities. The management of this plant is to eradicate it using different methods. This article shows the use of the invading plant of aqueous bodies, Elodea sp., for the production of bioethanol. After hydrolysis of carbohydrates, detoxification, and fermentation, the plant showed a high yield in the production of bioethanol. This work is the basis for the development of the bioprocess, using lignocellulose material as a substrate and, in addition, it is an alternative for the management of the Elodea sp. as a source of fuel energy.
