Abstract EN
Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is an important commercial crop in many tropical countries, but its industry generates large amounts of residue.
One way to address this problem is to use this residue, coconut husk, to produce second-generation (2G) ethanol.
The aim of this review is to describe the methods that have been used to produce bioethanol from coconut husk and to suggest ways to improve different steps of the process.
The analysis performed in this review determined that alkaline pretreatment is the best choice for its delignification potential.
It was also observed that although most reported studies use enzymes to perform hydrolysis, acid hydrolysis is a good alternative.
Finally, ethanol production using different microorganisms and fermentation strategies is discussed and the possibility of obtaining other added-value products from coconut husk components by using a biorefinery scheme is addressed.
