Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

Gender Implications of Biofuels Expansion: A CGE Analysis for Mozambique [PDF]
We use a gendered computable general equilibrium model to assess the implications of biofuels expansion in Mozambique. We compare scenarios with different gender employment intensities in producing jatropha for biodiesel.

Environmental and social dimensions of fuel ethanol production in Cradock, South Africa, in the context of the wider biofuels debate [PDF]
, 2013 Liquid biofuels are fossil fuel replacements in the form of fuel ethanol and biodiesel. Advocates of biofuels highlight their potential to mitigate climate change from reduced greenhouse gas emissions and socio-economic benefits for countries that ...

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%).

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 AND LEAKAGES IN THE FUEL MARKET [PDF]
Leakage in the fuel market differs, depending on whether ethanol production is determined by a tax credit or consumption mandate. Two components of market leakage are distinguished: domestic and international.

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 ...

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.

Biofuels and climate change mitigation : a CGE analysis incorporating land-use change [PDF]
The question of whether biofuels help mitigate climate change has attracted much debate in the literature. Using a global computable general equilibrium model that explicitly represents land-use change impacts due to the expansion of biofuels, this study
