Abstract

The sugar beet industry produces considerable amounts of organic waste and by-products. Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is the residue that remains after sugar extraction. SBP is a lignocellulosic by-product of the sugar industry and generally used as animal feed at relatively low price. Instead of cattle feeding, SBP can be used as a raw material for industrial applications because it is low-cost and available in large amounts. Biomass is a clean and renewable energy source. The use of SBP for the production of ethanol, methanol, single cell protein, biofuels etc. is economically very attractive. This literature review evaluates the use of SBP as biomass.
