It is increasing clear that biofuels can be a viable source of renewable energy in contrast to
the finite nature, geopolitical instability, and deleterious global effects of fossil fuel energy …

Biofuels are the promising alternative to exhaustible, environmentally unsafe fossil fuels.
Algal biomass is attractive raw for biofuel production. Its cultivation does not compete for …

Ethanol may be produced using sugarcane bagasse as raw material through the
Organosolv process with dilute acid hydrolysis, thus increasing ethanol production with the …

Demand for bioethanol has grown considerably over the last years. Even though Brazil has
been producing ethanol from sugarcane on a large scale for decades, this industry is …

Sugarcane bagasse makes a valuable biobased resource with several reported
applications. Different applications are evaluated with tools like life cycle assessment (LCA) …

Biobutanol can become the replacement of petroleum gasoline in near future. However,
economic feasibility of biobutanol production from ABE fermentation is suffering due to the …

The objective of this work is to present a quantitative tool to support decision-making in the
area of optimal design of supply chains (SC) for the combined production of sugar and …

Pilot-scale pretreatments, namely steam explosion (SE) and diluted sulfuric acid (SA), of
sugarcane bagasse followed by alkaline delignification (SED and SAD) were explored. Most …

Three alternative processes for the production of liquid transportation biofuels from sugar
cane bagasse were compared, on the perspective of energy efficiencies using process …

This study evaluated the use of a renewable organic acid (citric acid) as homogeneous
catalyst for the pretreatment of raw sugarcane bagasse (SB). A 2 2 central composite design …
