Bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel and value added products
are globally gaining significant prominence. Market forces demonstrate a drive towards …

Lignocellulosic biomass can be utilized to produce ethanol, a promising alternative energy
source for the limited crude oil. There are mainly two processes involved in the conversion …

Bio-fuels are important because they replace petroleum fuels. A number of environmental
and economic benefits are claimed for bio-fuels. Bio-ethanol is by far the most widely used …

Second-generation bioethanol can be produced from various lignocellulosic biomasses
such as wood, agricultural or forest residues. Lignocellulosic biomass is inexpensive …

Most prior studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse
gases because biofuels sequester carbon through the growth of the feedstock. These …

Hydrothermal technologies are broadly defined as chemical and physical transformations in
high-temperature (200–600° C), high-pressure (5–40 MPa) liquid or supercritical water. This …

The use of different input data, functional units, allocation methods, reference systems and
other assumptions complicates comparisons of LCA bioenergy studies. In addition …
