Green Diesel: Biomass Feedstocks, Production Technologies, Catalytic Research, Fuel Properties and Performance in Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the current technology related to the green diesel, from the classification and chemistry of the available biomass feedstocks to the possible production technologies and up to the final fuel properties and their effect in modern compression ignition internal combustion engines.
Journal ArticleDOI

125th Anniversary Review: Fuel Alcohol: Current Production and Future Challenges

TL;DR: The second generation fuel alcohol processes are much more environmentally and ethically acceptable compared with exploitation of starch and sugar resources, especially when considering utilisation of residual agricultural biomass and biowastes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging techniques in bioethanol production: from distillation to waste valorization

TL;DR: In this article, a review briefly describes the aspects related to bio-ethanol production and focuses on both theoretical and practical approaches for process improvements, and several green emerging distillation techniques, such as ohmic-assisted hydrodistillation, membrane assisted distillation, and heat integrated techniques, are shown to be energy-saving alternatives to the conventional distillation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brettanomyces bruxellensis, a survivalist prepared for the wine apocalypse and other beverages.

TL;DR: There is a large enough body of evidence showing that the nutritional needs of B. bruxellensis are meagre, explaining its ability to colonise harsh environments, and it can be regarded as a survivor, well adapted to colonising harsh environments not often inhabited by other yeasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metal and metalloid determination in biodiesel and bioethanol

TL;DR: In this article, the metal and metalloid content of biofuel is determined by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and mass spectrometry (MS).

Features of promising technologies for pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.

TL;DR: This paper reviews process parameters and their fundamental modes of action for promising pretreatment methods and concludes that pretreatment processing conditions must be tailored to the specific chemical and structural composition of the various, and variable, sources of lignocellulosic biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pretreatment technologies for an efficient bioethanol production process based on enzymatic hydrolysis: A review

TL;DR: This paper reviews the most interesting technologies for ethanol production from lignocellulose and it points out several key properties that should be targeted for low-cost and advanced pretreatment processes.

The Economics of Climate Change

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an appropriate way to examine the economics of climate change, given the unique scientific and economic challenges posed, and suggest implications for emissions targets, policy instruments, and global action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global potential bioethanol production from wasted crops and crop residues

TL;DR: In this article, the global annual potential bioethanol production from the major crops, corn, barley, oat, rice, wheat, sorghum, and sugar cane, is estimated.
