Corn stover harvest and transport cost functions were estimated for two harvest operations for a proposed biomass-to-ethanol … cost for 50MM gal/year of ethanol output was estimated at $54/dt ($0.77/gal ethanol) for the more intensive harvest method … 50MM gal ethanol output, with an $11 ($9) standard deviation. Costs were found to be at or below $62/dt 90 percent of the …

producing cellulose nanowhiskers (CNW) as a co-product in an ethanol biorefinery. An ASPEN Plus-based process model was … developed to evaluate ethanol production from wheat straw. The base case model generated 54.418 million gallons per year (MGPY …) of denatured ethanol, using approximately 900,000 tons per year of wheat straw feedstock. The capital cost was estimated …

The optimal switchgrass genotype from among 250 alternatives for producing biomass for use in an enzymatic hydrolysis … conversion process to produce ethanol was determined. The consequences of the selected genotype, relative to the most common … commercially available variety, on ethanol production costs and on land requirements are determined. …

However, the use of high cost enzymes as an input is a significant limitation for ethanol … results. Since these results indicate that the SSC method is economical, ethanol production costs may be reduced, with the …
