Biorefineries have been studied, involving technical, economic, and environmental aspects.
Substantial research has identified many pathways for producing chemicals and fuels from …

This review investigates the effects of the Brazilian agriculture production and forestry sector
on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Residual biomasses produced mainly in the agro …

High fuel shortage is straining the world economy and damaging the environment, as it
exacerbates inflation and forces a greater reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources …

This work evaluates the sustainability of small-scale biorefineries as a potential enterprise
alternative to be introduced in rural areas based on experimental and simulation data. Four …

Hydrogen can be produced from several feedstocks and technologies, making it an
important partner in the energy transition to neutral carbon societies. Hydrogen production …

The industrial applicability of exotic and wild fruits has been investigated as stand-alone
processes framed to obtain a single main product. However, their combination and the …

Biorefinery feasibility is highly influenced by the early design of the best feedstock
transformation pathway to obtain value-added products. Pretreatment has been identified as …

Thermochemical conversion is a promising technology to generate producer gas (PG) from
different types of agroforestry biomass residues. To use an existing open-core biomass …

Pretreatments have been identified as the core of lignocellulosic biorefinery design due to
biomass fractionation and the influence on subsequent reaction and downstream processes …

Energy hotspots for the production of vanillin from Kraft lignin are identified and process
improvements are proposed and rigorously simulated. The hotspots identified and …
