Nowadays, continuously increasing petroleum costs and dependence upon fossil fuel resources create major attention to focused on alternative energy resources. Fuel resources and the energy source is the highest priority since trillions of people all over the world use it in the sector of transportation, electricity, food and industrial manufacture. The need for alternative sources of bio-energy was expected to increase sharply in the future. The abundant and free raw material in the form of lignocellulosic biomass has been considered as an alternative for fossil fuel. In this short review, the potential of lignocellulosic biomass to produce bio-sugar are highlighted. This short review highlights and provides an overview of various pretreatment methods used to degrade the cellulosic material challenges to convert lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugar.
