Life cycle analysis for the cultivation and combustion of miscanthus for biofuel compared with natural gas [PDF]
, 2008 As negative environmental and economic impacts of fossil fuels have escalated, so has the importance of renewable bioenergy crops whose feedstocks are noncompetitive with food supplies. Compared with fossil fuels, use of lignocellulosic feedstocks offers

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Bio‐based polymer composites were 3D printed by LCD vat photopolymerization using acrylate epoxidized soybean oil as the monomer and isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent. Two different poplar powders derived from plywood processing waste were incorporated within the photocurable formulations.

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Environmental Consequences of Ethanol from Corn Grain, Ethanol from Lignocellulosic Biomass, and Conventional Gasoline [PDF]
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 includes a provision designed to double the production and use of ethanol in fuels by 2012, and that beginning in 2013, a minimum of 250 million gallons per year of ethanol be produced from lignocellulosic sources such as ...

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production
Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Research advances on the consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass
Engineering MicrobiologyLignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable bioresource for the production of biofuels and biochemical products. The classical biorefinery process for lignocellulosic degradation and conversion comprises three stages, i.e., pretreatment ...

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.This study shows that incorporating 5–10 wt.% Posidonia oceanica, with or without micro‐talc, in PBSA preserves thermal stability, modifying crystallization behavior, and maintains good filler dispersion and interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties are moderately stiffened.
