With world reserves of petroleum fast depleting, in recent years ethanol has emerged as most
important alternative resource for liquid fuel and has generated a great deal of research interest
in ethanol fermentation. Research on improving ethanol production has been accelerating for both
ecological and economical reasons, primarily for its use as an alternative to petroleum based fuels. Field
crops offer potential source of fuel, offering promise as large-scale energy and based on its genetic
diversity, climatic adaptation, biomass and sugar production. Lignocellulosic biomass is the most
abundant organic raw material in the world. Production of ethanol from renewable lignocellulosic
resources may improve energy availability, decrease air pollution and diminish atmospheric CO2
accumulation. The aim of the present review is to highlight on major agricultural, industrial and
urban waste, which could be used for ethanol production in an ecofriendly and profitable manner.
Primarily, the utilization of these wastes for ethanol production will reduce dependency on foreign oil
and secondly, this will remove disposal problem of wastes and make environment safe from pollution.
