the development of 2G biofuels? We find that ethanol made from cellulose using the biochemical conversion process is far … ethanol might induce a switch from 1G to 2G biofuels. However, we find little evidence that production and use of 1G biofuels …

continue to be important feedstocks for ethanol and biodiesel production, but cellulose feedstocks (agricultural crop residues …, energy crops such as switchgrass, and forestry residues) will play a major role. Farm income increases, mostly because of …

Cellulose reactivity in ethanol at elevated temperature (170–210 °C) was investigated in this study. Water and acid … catalyst can improve the solubilization and the conversion of cellulose in ethanol. In ethanol/water medium, more humic solids … will be formed, but the amounts of diethyl ether decreased greatly. In ethanol medium, the ethanolysis reaction of …

cellulose (Avicel® PH-101) to ethanol. In the first step, cellulose was selectively converted to glucose. Cellulose hydrolysis …, irradiation time, and power consumption – were optimized. A yield of 0.67 g glucose/g cellulose was achieved under modest reaction … converted to ethanol by fermention with yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The speed, selective nature of the process and the …

The use of sterilising agents in lieu of energy intensive steam sterilisation was investigated for cellulose ethanol … of wheat straw to ethanol and their effects on acetic acid, lactic acid, glucose and ethanol production were measured … elimination of lactic acid, and a 20% increase in ethanol production. Hydrogen peroxide is hence considered a potential …

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

First-generation grain ethanol biofuel has affected the historical excess capacity problem in U.S. agriculture. Second …-generation cellulosic ethanol biofuel has had difficulty achieving cost-competitiveness. Third-generation drop-in biofuels are under …

Extending switchgrass harvest over many months would require a smaller investment in harvest machines, but would result … land for growing switchgrass. A model was constructed and solved to determine the optimal strategy. …
