A farm-scale process for converting wheat straw to ethanol was modelled to assess its energy performance. The process …

polygeneration with electricity, refrigeration, utility heat and ethanol as outputs is reported in this paper. Also economic … feasibility of the polygeneration plant is reported in this paper. Rice straw, sugarcane bagasse and coconut fiber dust are three …

This study is to evaluate the potential for development of a cellulosic ethanol facility in Vietnam. Rice straw is … produced. To minimize the overall production cost (PC) of ethanol from rice straw, it is crucial to choose the optimal facility … straw supply. Thus, this region has been considered as the most suitable location for deploying ethanol production in …

Ethanol produced from renewable biomass, such as lignocellulosic feedstock, is one of the alternative energy resources … considered a variety of effects on physical and chemical characteristics, hydrolysis efficiency and ethanol yield. This paper … ethanol yields. It also addresses characteristics such as accessibility, crystallinity, degree of polymerization …

by Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) or fermentation of syngas to a variety of alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and … direct conversion of biogas into ethanol and higher alcohol fuels (e.g. butanol), which is envisaged to be the focus of …

In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a waiver allowing an increase in the fuel–ethanol blend …

The ester preparation involved a two … ethanol to oil (6:1 – 12:1), and the reaction temperature (35 – 90 °C) were studied for the conversion of sunflower oil to … reaction parameters. The optimal conditions for first stage transesterification were an ethanol/oil molar ratio of 12:1, NaOH …

A measurement program designed to evaluate health impacts or benefits of using ethanol blend petrol examined exhaust …% ethanol (E5) or 10% ethanol (E10). The resulting data were combined with inventory data for Sydney to determine the expected … fleet emissions for different uptakes of ethanol blended fuel. Fleet ethanol compatibility was estimated to be 60% for 2006 …

In the present work, an ethanol fed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Gas Turbine (SOFC-GT) system has been parametrically analyzed … ethanol steam reforming. The hydrogen utilization factor values were kept between 0.7 and 1. The SOFC’s Current …
