Journal ArticleDOI
Green conversion of municipal solid wastes into fuels and chemicals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a serious challenge for the effective management of the increasing amount of produced municipal solid wastes, the accumulated waste has caused a series of environme...
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of household food waste for the production of ethanol at high dry material content.
TL;DR: The ability of utilizing household food waste for the production of ethanol at elevated dry material content has been demonstrated and a separate liquefaction/saccharification process can increase both ethanol production and productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Overview of Potential Oleaginous Microorganisms and Their Role in Biodiesel and Omega-3 Fatty Acid-Based Industries.
Alok Patel,Dimitra Karageorgou,Emma Rova,Petros Katapodis,Ulrika Rova,Paul Christakopoulos,Leonidas Matsakas +6 more
TL;DR: The type of oleaginous microorganisms and their expertise in the field of biodiesel or omega-3 fatty acids, advances in metabolic engineering tools for enhanced lipid accumulation, upstream and downstream processing of lipids, including purification of biod diesel and concentration of omega- 3 fatty acids are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel hybrid organosolv: Steam explosion method for the efficient fractionation and pretreatment of birch biomass
Leonidas Matsakas,Christos Nitsos,Vijayendran Raghavendran,Vijayendran Raghavendran,Olga Yakimenko,Gustav Persson,Eva Olsson,Ulrika Rova,Lisbeth Olsson,Paul Christakopoulos +9 more
TL;DR: The novel hybrid method developed in this study allowed for the efficient fractionation of Birch biomass and production of pretreated solids with high cellulose and low lignin contents, and the ethanol concentration obtained with this method is the highest so far for birch biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin-first biomass fractionation using a hybrid organosolv - Steam explosion pretreatment technology improves the saccharification and fermentability of spruce biomass.
Leonidas Matsakas,Vijayendran Raghavendran,Olga Yakimenko,Gustav Persson,Eva Olsson,Ulrika Rova,Lisbeth Olsson,Paul Christakopoulos +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a newly established hybrid organosolv - steam explosion pretreatment can effectively fractionate spruce biomass to yield pretreated solids with high cellulose and low lignin content, which are ideal for subsequent bioconversion processes.
