Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how carbon accounting can be used to govern, not merely report, circular economy principles in shipping corporations. Grounded in institutional theory and aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda, this study introduces circular harmony as an accounting design principle: Circular interventions are embedded in a single well‐to‐wake ...

Using Biotechnology to Lower Production Costs of Biofuels in Canada: Will it Hinder the Growth of an Export Industry? [PDF]
Bio-based fuels represent one of the most viable alternatives to petroleum-based fuel to meet transportation needs in the 21st century. The biofuel industry is in its infancy in Canada but shows considerable growth opportunity. The international interest

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.For biofuels production, hemicellulose pre‐hydrolysate is considered as an attractive feedstock rich in fermentable sugars. The pre‐hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprises, along with sugars, several inhibitors which can hamper its efficient conversion.

Revisiting acidulation for tall oil and lignin manufacturing
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Tall oil is a byproduct of the kraft pulping process when softwood is used as raw material. As the production of softwood‐based pulp is in high demand, the optimization of the tall oil production process needs to be revisited to ensure the highest quality and quantity of tall oil manufacturing. In this work, the process for tall oil production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

The Formation of Covalent Linkages in Lignocellulosic Biomass via the Oxocarbenium Intermediate
ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.Density functional theory models show that the hydrated and acidic hemicellulose matrix in lignocellulosic biomass can generate oxocarbenium ions. These reactive intermediates can participate in the stable formation of glycosidic lignin‐carbohydrate covalent linkages, promoting recalcitrance in plant biomass.
