Abstract: Cellulose is a kind of polysaccharides material existed widely in nature, it can hydrolyze cellulosic materials to monosaccharide effectively, and then ferment to ethanol, H2 and microbial oils. It is useful to ease the shortage of global energy while using cellulose appropriately. In recent decade, cellulase, the tool of cellulose hydrolysis, has been concerned by home and abroad. In this article, combining the relationship of cellulase and bio-energy and the demand of cellulase for market-oriented, development process of cellulase gene were summarized.

Key words: Cellulose, Cellulase, Bio-energy, Commercialize, Cellulase gene
