High-solids hydrolysis were done using commercial (CC) and lab-made (LC) cellulases.
The biomass-customized CC enzymes were more efficient in high-solids hydrolysis.
The LC enzymes promoted faster liquefaction than CC enzymes.
CC enzymes would benefit from the fast liquefaction of the LC enzymes.
Glucose release from 20% solids supports the feasibility of ethanol distillation.
