POTENTIALITY OF VIETNAM GREEN SEAWEED FOR BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION ☆

The Paris Conference on Climate Change in 2015 called on all nations to work together to reduce climate change. The producing biofuels from seaweed biomass is a potential research to contribute to reducing climate change. In Vietnam, green seaweed is a large biomass source, their suitable for ethanol production. This is a solution to create clean fuels, reducing environmental pollution and increase economic benefits for the coastal people. Therefore this review article provides an overall perspective required for the composition of species, the aquaculture, the chemical composition and the process of saccharification and fermentation to produce ethanol from green seaweeds.
