Considerable efforts have been made to utilize marine algae biomass feedstock for the production of bioethanol as an alternative fuel. In this study, marine algal biomass Laminaria was converted to ethanol by S. cerevisiae following acid saccharification. optimization of reaction conditions of acid saccharification from Laminaria using acid catalyst and by using Severity index approach. By this approach, optimal conditions for acid saccharification were found as follows reaction temperature of ooo °C, reaction time of oo min, and catalyst concentration of o.o%. Following acid saccharification, S. cerevisiae was inoculated liquid fraction for ethanol production. The material balance were calculated with the results to assess the overall effectiveness of the Ethanol Production.
