Integrated biorefinery for cellulosic ethanol and spherical nanolignin production from coconut waste
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Green coconut waste was subjected to different fractionation methods to obtain integrated lignin nanoparticles and cellulosic ethanol. Pretreatment with gradual addition of dilute sulfuric acid provided a higher structural hemicellulose precursor yield (68.2%).

The LP Model to Optimize the Biofuel Supply Chain [PDF]
The heavy dependence of the EU countries from the imported oil, a growing economic vulnerability caused by wider and almost unforeseeable price changes of the crude oil commodity, the global warming are some of the reasons that have induced the policy ...

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Mixed‐culture fermentation generally produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a mixture of C2–C6 acids. Among operational parameters, temperature has a distinct effect on the microorganisms' metabolic activity, which can shift the composition of the metabolites.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata), a native species from Brazilian biomes, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to vegetable oil production. Its fruit presents high oil yield (3–6 ton/ha), extracted from its kernel and pulp. While the kernel is suitable for food and cosmetics application, the pulp oil has been considered as a promising ...

Economic impact of biofuel chains in France [PDF]
Given the current situation with the high price of oil (an average of $53 per barrel in 2005) and the risk of global warming, the European Union (EU) is reinforcing its objectives related to the production of biofuels: they should account for 5.75% of ...

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The macaúba fruit, native to tropical and subtropical regions, has received considerable attention in recent years as a promising raw material for the production of advanced biofuels in Brazil. However, the development of large‐scale biomass requires overcoming significant challenges, such as designing circular biorefineries.

The Impact of Feedstock Supply and Petroleum Price Variability on Domestic Biofuel and Feedstock Markets – The Case of the United States [PDF]
The promotion of biofuel use in preference to traditional petroleum-based transportation fuel has linked agricultural commodity markets and energy markets more closely together.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Anaerobic digestion can be an alternative method for treating wastewater from second‐generation biorefineries while simultaneously producing biogas. However, the feasibility of the process and key operational parameters by which wastewater produced in lignocellulosic biorefineries affects reactor performance remain poorly understood.
