Cellulosic Biofuels [PDF]

, 2008
Cellulosic biofuels are not as far off as often assumed. EESI's investigation of this issue found some pilot scale cellulosic biofuel production facilities already online and many more demonstration and commercial scale biorefineries under construction ...

Quantifying the land‐use change due to soybean‐based biodiesel in the United States

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract We quantify the impact of soybean oil‐based biodiesel production on US cropland, using a method that accounts for the intermediate effect of soybean crushing facilities. Based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data for biodiesel production and proprietary data for soybean crushing facilities over 2011–2020, we find that the elasticities ...

Designing Cost‐Effective Carbon Payments to Induce Cellulosic Feedstock Production for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perennial bioenergy crops, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, and crop residues have the potential to scale up sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and mitigate carbon emissions. However, high establishment costs, delayed returns, and risk–return profiles that diverge from those of conventional crops can hinder incentives to adopt ...

1,3-propanediol production by Klebsiella pneumoniae ∆dhaM∆ptsG∆glpK using glucose and glycerol as co-substrates

Microbial Cell Factories
Background 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) is a bulk chemical that can be produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae using glycerol as a substrate. In the 1,3-PDO synthesis pathway, part of the glycerol is oxidised to maintain intracellular NADH balance.

Economics of land‐based carbon mitigation

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural land holds tremendous potential to contribute to net zero greenhouse gas emission goals by providing low carbon renewable energy to displace fossil fuels and by serving as a sink for sequestering carbon in the soil with climate‐smart practices. This potential is, however, far from being realized.

Neoliberalising technoscience and environment: EU policy for competitive, sustainable biofuels [PDF]

, 2012
This chapter discusses how EU biofuels policy: stimulates new markets for knowledge as well as resources; assumes that markets drive beneficent innovation; and thus deepens links between markets, technoscience and environment.

Preparation of High‐Pressure Laminate With Bio‐Based Fructose‐HMF‐Amine Impregnation Resin

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the use of a resin made from renewable carbohydrates, free from phenol and formaldehyde, for impregnating recycled kraft paper to produce high‐pressure laminates. The resulting bio‐based laminate samples match the mechanical performance of conventional phenol‐formaldehyde‐based samples, highlighting their potential to replace ...

Keystone Taxa Lactiplantibacillus and Lacticaseibacillus Directly Improve the Ensiling Performance and Microflora Profile in Co-Ensiling Cabbage Byproduct and Rice Straw

Microorganisms, 2021
Ensiling has been widely applied to cope with agricultural solid waste to achieve organic waste valorization and relieve environmental pressure and feedstuff shortage. In this study, co-ensiling of cabbage leaf byproduct and rice straw was performed with
