The Importance of Wheat for Bioethanol Production

Due to population growth and technological developments in the world, energy demand continues to increase. In order to make this demand, petroleum and petroleum derivatives, which are fossil fuels, are being used, environmental pollution and greenhouse effect are increasing. Reduced, sustainable, clean, alternative energy sources are needed because of the decrease in fossil fuel resources. One of the most common types of these alternative energy sources today is bioethanol. Bioethanol is obtained from various raw materials by fermentation and can be mixed with gasoline at certain ratios. These raw materials can be classified as simple sugars, starch and lignocellulose. One of the important raw materials in bioethanol production is wheat, another wheat straw. Today and in the future; When Turkey and the world wheat production potential of thought, wheat will takes an important place in the production of alternative energy sources
