Abstract
The rapid depletion of coal, gas and crude oil reservoir enforced the study of alternative fuel such types are biofuels, bioethanol. Ethanol can be used as a pure fuel or blended with gasoline used for vehicles. Ethanol can be produced from various sources. Sugarcane getting tremendous attention recent years due to its availability and utilization for production of ethanol, because the amount of sugar present in this high, due to high sugar content it can be utilized for fermentation and other process. Some plants containing cellulosic material those can be utilized for ethanol production. There are various plants that can be utilized for the production of ethanol.
