bioethanol; biomass; cost effectiveness; economic feasibility; energy; ethanol production; ethics; food crops; fuel production; lignocellulose; production technology; wastes
Abstract:
... Sustainable and renewable resources are inevitable factors for biofuel production to meet the energy and transportation fuel demand of a nation. The urge in meeting the energy demand can be achieved by intensified research on agricultural and waste biomass utilization. In recent days, advanced agricultural practice throughout the world generates surplus biomass residues and this can be utilized th ...

Abstract:
... In a quest of alternative energy source of fossil fuels, lignocellulosic biomass is intensively studying to produce different liquid fuels and chemicals. Both fuel (bioethanol) and chemical (furfural) were produced simultaneously in this study through two different production routes, biochemical and thermochemical route. Actually, this study firstly defined production pathway in details for each p ...

Subject:
agricultural wastes; bioethanol; biomass; biorefining; bulk density; corn stover; economic feasibility; enzymatic reactions; equipment; feedstocks; fungi; hardwood; lignocellulose; perennial grasses; sugars; temperature; wastewater
Abstract:
... Fungal pretreatment is a biological process that uses rotting fungi to reduce the recalcitrance and enhance the enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulosic feedstocks at low temperature, without added chemicals and wastewater generation. Thus, it has been presumed to be low cost. However, fungal pretreatment requires longer incubation times and generates lower yields than traditional pretreatments. ...
