The role of maize hybrids in current trends of bioethanol production

Abstract: Bioethanol is a biofuel that is mostly used as a replacement for fossil fuels worldwide with yearly production reaching nearly 110 billion liters in 2019. Trends of producing this alternative fuel are rising and maize is considered as one of the best renewable raw materials for the production of fuel ethanol due to the high content of starch in the grain. Taking into account that Serbia is one of the most prominent maize producers in Europe, the surpluses of this crop could be directed towards bioethanol produ… Show more

“…Bioethanol is one of the major alternative fuels worldwide that can be produced by fermentation of sugars from the biomass and used as a fuel or as a gasoline enhancer (Mojović et al, 2012). The total world bioethanol production has reached 109.9 billion liters in 2019 with the United States as the largest bioethanol producer, however, this industry has suffered some setbacks during the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic (Nikolić et al, 2020;RFA, 2020).…”
