Availability of corn stover as a sustainable feedstock for bioethanol production
Kiran L. Kadam,James D. McMillan +1 more
TL;DR: The amount of corn stover that can be sustainably collected is estimated to be 80-100 million dry tonnes/yr (t/yr), a majority of which would be available to ethanol plants in the near term as only a small portion is currently used for other applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rice straw as a lignocellulosic resource: collection, processing, transportation, and environmental aspects
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of rice straw production in the Sacramento Valley was conducted, which illustrates that 550 t d−1 of straw can be accessed at an estimated net delivered cost of about US $20/t (dry), which is generally considered attractive for an ethanol feedstock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Validation of a Kinetic Model for Enzymatic Saccharification of Lignocellulosic Biomass
TL;DR: The model performed well in predicting cellulose hydrolysis trends at experimental conditions both inside and outside the design space used for parameter estimation and can be used for in silico process optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Power plant flue gas as a source of CO2 for microalgae cultivation: Economic impact of different process options
TL;DR: In this paper, an economic model was developed for CO2 recovery from power-plant flue gas and its delivery to microalgae ponds, which showed that a lipid cost of $1.4/gal (unextracted) and a mitigation cost of approximately $30/t CO2 (CO2 avoided basis) were predicted for a long-term process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of microalgae for assimilation and utilization of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel-fired power plant flue gas
TL;DR: In this article, a low-cost implementation of carbon dioxide capture and utilization of microalgae has emerged as a promising technology to help reduce emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants.
