Energy increases day by day in parallel with the development of technology and industry, on the other hand, the oldest and the most widely used energy source fossil fuels, are depleted rapidly by this demand. At the same time, the use of renewable energy sources is a priority for air pollution, greenhouse gas and global warming effect. Lignocellulosic biomass is one of these renewable energy sources. Ethanol can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass. As a source of raw materials, it is important not only to use forests that have ecological significance with foodstuffs but also for agriculture or industrial wastes. For this reason, in this study, the cotton yarn waste was used as raw material. Pyrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation were applied and ethyl alcohol was obtained and approximately 18,75% alcohol conversion rate was determined. It was concluded that 60.22 grams of ethyl alcohol could be obtained for 1000 grams of cotton fibres.
