Pretreatment and fermentation of Douglas-fir whitewood and bark feedstocks for ethanol production

As part of ongoing research to evaluate the bioconversion of softwood feedstocks to ethanol, the feasibility of using Douglas-fir residues was investigated. Whitewood feedstocks were pretreated using SC₂-catalyzed steam explosion under three pretreatment severity conditions (low, medium and high) wi...
