Global Change Biology, 2019 AbstractEnergy from biomass plays a large and growing role in the global energy system. Energy from biomass can make significant contributions to reducing carbon emissions, especially from difficult‐to‐decarbonize sectors like aviation, heavy transport, and manufacturing. But land‐intensive bioenergy often entails substantial carbon emissions from land‐

Halophytes As Bioenergy Crops [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Shrinking arable land due to soil salinization and, depleting fresh water resources pose serious worldwide constraints to crop productivity. A vision of using plant feedstock for biofuel production can only be realized if we can identify alternate species that can be grown on saline soils and therefore, would not compete for the resources required for ...

Bioenergy and Biomass Utilization [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 Bioenergy is of increasing interest as a renewable, environmentally friendly alternative to energy derived from fossil fuels. Through a variety of processes, biomass can be converted to solid, liquid, or gaseous biofuels. However, various challenges persist to the maintenance and development of biomass-to-energy utilization.

Engineering microbial biofuel tolerance and export using efflux pumps
Molecular Systems Biology, 2011 Many compounds being considered as candidates for advanced biofuels are toxic to microorganisms. This introduces an undesirable trade‐off when engineering metabolic pathways for biofuel production because the engineered microbes must balance production ...

Low-abundance populations distinguish microbiome performance in plant cell wall deconstruction
Microbiome, 2022 Background Plant cell walls are interwoven structures recalcitrant to degradation. Native and adapted microbiomes can be particularly effective at plant cell wall deconstruction. Although most understanding of biological cell wall deconstruction has been
