A major #bioethanol facility in #Redcar is at risk of shutting down unless urgent #government intervention is secured, its ...

Biomass burial could even act as temporary storage until facilities are ready to convert the carbon into sustainable fuels. “Buy ourselves time and then use it later,” says Baker. Either way, biomass ...

Farnesene is an important chemical platform for many industrial products, such as biofuels and polymers. We performed high-efficiency utilization of corncobs for β-farnesene production by separate ...

Aqueous pretreatment using homogeneous acid catalyst is considered as a low-cost technology in the production of lignocellulosic bioethanol. To establish the synergism of mixed acids, pilot-level ...

Okuda et al. studied the Fe-assisted hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass using Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) from fuel palm trees to produce high-grade biofuel. They found that at 300˚C ...

Introduction. In recent years, the interest in the use of biomass as a sustainable substitute for fossil fuel replacement has intensified due to its envisaged role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions ...

Current limitations of enzymatic degradation of lignocellulosic biomass are mostly related to enzymatic stability, low specific activity and susceptibility to inhibitory agents or byproducts (Mousdale ...
