<p>A method for pretreating plant starting material for the purpose of producing bioethanol and/or sugar via a common chamber (12), is characterized in that:—during one period, the plant material (MP), introduced into the common pretreatment chamber, is a lignocellulosic plant starting material, whose pretreatment is aimed at separating the cellulose, the hemicelluloses and the lignins so as to obtain a pretreated plant material that can be hydrolyzed and fermented for the production of bioethanol;—during another period, the plant material (MP), introduced into the common pretreatment chamber, is a sacchariferous plant starting material, whose pretreatment is aimed at extracting therefrom, by diffusion, a sugar juice for the production of sugar and/or of bioethanol.</p> |
