Schematic of total on-site biomass degradation with low-cost enzyme production. BIOMASS main hydrocarbon components are cellulose and hemicellulose (both account for about ~ 60% of the total dry weight of biomass [22]. PRETREATMENT technologies make cellulose (C6-sugars) accessible to enzymatic hydrolysis but compromise the integrity of hemicellulose, rendering C5-sugars which could be used to make low-cost enzymes that degrade cellulose (C6-sugars) generating GLUCOSE that is converted into fermentation PRODUCTS
