Ethanol is produced in large scale from sugarcane in Brazil by fermentation of sugars and distillation. This is … of these alternative fermentation processes in ethanol production, energy consumption and electricity surplus produced in …, some improvements in the process can be introduced in order to improve the use of energy. In current distilleries, a …

Biomass is a potential sustainable source of energy. Approximately one-third of the energy available from sugarcane is … the harvester either fully or partially turned off. In South Africa more than 90% of the sugarcane crop is burnt and …

purpose, a global energy outlook will be presented, which discusses the role of key players in the sector recent developments … in oil prices and the participation of the different energy sources in global supply. Subsequently, the article will … analyze the geopolitical importance of oil, nuclear and ethanol industries evolution in Brazil, highlighting trends and …

corn-derived products such as bioethanol. Corn production is energy intensive and contributes to water quality degradation … and global warming, thus affecting the environmental impact of corn-derived ethanol. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used … of buffer strips to sequester nutrients. Detailed energy, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus inventories are compiled to …

Biomass offers an alternative renewable energy source to fossil fuels and can be used to produce energy directly or … through the production of liquid biofuels, e.g., ethanol, as a substitute for liquid transport fuels. Biomass also offers a … some cases, e.g., forests, there is a tension between biomass energy and biomass sequestration of carbon. This paper …
