Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2022 Supercapacitive biofuel cells' (SBFCs) most recent advancements are herein disclosed. In conventional SBFCs the biocomponent is employed as the pseudocapacitive component, while in self-charging biodevices it also works as the biocatalyst. The performance of different types of SBFCs are summarized according to the categorization based on the ...

Biofuel and Advanced Biofuel [PDF]
UCLA Journal of Environmental Law and Policy, 2015 A. Ethanol From Cellulose Cellulosic ethanol is the most promising second-generation biofuel, but the cost of production limits its viability, though costs are declining. (203) In order to qualify for a renewable identification number for cellulosic ethanol, production must meet requirements that include lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, as ...
