TL;DR: It is shown that tremendous progress could be made by halting agricultural expansion, closing ‘yield gaps’ on underperforming lands, increasing cropping efficiency, shifting diets and reducing waste, which could double food production while greatly reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture.
ReportDOI
Lignocellulosic Biomass to Ethanol Process Design and Economics Utilizing Co-Current Dilute Acid Prehydrolysis and Enzymatic Hydrolysis for Corn Stover
Andy Aden,Mark Ruth,Kelly N. Ibsen,J. Jechura,K. Neeves,John Sheehan,B. Wallace,L. Montague,A. Slayton,J. Lukas +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an update of NREL's ongoing process design and economic analyses of processes related to developing ethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks is presented, along with a cost basis for the process using a corn stover feedstock.
Journal ArticleDOI
How biotech can transform biofuels
Lee R. Lynd,Mark Laser,David Bransby,Bruce E. Dale,Brian H. Davison,Richard Hamilton,Michael E. Himmel,Martin Keller,James D. McMillan,John Sheehan,Charles E. Wyman +10 more
TL;DR: For cellulosic ethanol to become a reality, biotechnological solutions should focus on optimizing the conversion of biomass to sugars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy and environmental aspects of using corn stover for fuel ethanol.
John Sheehan,Andy Aden,Keith Paustian,K. Killian,John Brenner,Marie E. Walsh,Richard G. Nelson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a life cycle model for collecting corn stover in the state of Iowa, in the Midwest of the United States, for the production and use of a fuel mixture consisting of 85% ethanol/15% gasoline (known as “E85”) in a flexible-fuel light-duty vehicle was constructed.
ReportDOI
Life Cycle Inventory of Biodiesel and Petroleum Diesel for Use in an Urban Bus
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the findings from a study of the life cycle inventories (LCI) for petroleum diesel and biodiesel, which is a comprehensive quantification of all the energy and environmental flows associated with a product from “cradle to grave.
