Process Design and Economics for Biochemical Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Ethanol: Dilute-Acid Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Corn Stover
David Humbird,Ryan Davis,Ling Tao,Christopher Kinchin,David D. Hsu,Andy Aden,P. Schoen,J. Lukas,B. Olthof,M. Worley,D. Sexton,D. Dudgeon +11 more
TL;DR: The conceptual design presented in this paper reports ethanol production economics as determined by 2012 conversion targets and 'nth-plant' project costs and financing for the biorefinery described here, processing 2,205 dry ton/day at 76% theoretical ethanol yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Techno-economic analysis of autotrophic microalgae for fuel production
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present baseline economics for two microalgae pathways, by performing a comprehensive analysis using a set of assumptions for what can plausibly be achieved within a five-year timeframe.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potentials and challenges of algae based biofuels: A review of the techno-economic, life cycle, and resource assessment modeling
Jason C. Quinn,Ryan Davis +1 more
TL;DR: The need for harmonized assessments such that direct comparisons of alternative processing technologies can be made on the metrics of resource requirements, economic feasibility, and environmental impact is highlighted.
ReportDOI
Process Design and Economics for the Conversion of Algal Biomass to Hydrocarbons: Whole Algae Hydrothermal Liquefaction and Upgrading
Susanne B. Jones,Yunhua Zhu,Daniel B. Anderson,Richard T. Hallen,Douglas C. Elliott,Andrew J. Schmidt,Karl O. Albrecht,Todd R. Hart,Mark G. Butcher,Corinne Drennan,Lesley J. Snowden-Swan,Ryan Davis,Christopher Kinchin +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary analysis of the costs associated with converting whole wet algal biomass into diesel fuel is presented, where the secondary aqueous product containing significant organic material is converted to a medium btu gas via catalytic hydrothermal gasification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative cost analysis of algal oil production for biofuels
TL;DR: In 2008, a comparative study was carried out using a cross-section of cost analyses consisting of 12 public studies and the resulting triacylglyceride cost had a spread of two orders of magnitude as mentioned in this paper.
