Competitive liquid biofuels from biomass
TLDR
The cost of producing bioethanol in a dry mill plant currently totals US$1.65/galon as mentioned in this paper, and it has been showed that plant size has a major effect on cost.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A review of catalytic upgrading of bio-oil to engine fuels
Peter Mølgaard Mortensen,Jan-Dierk Grunwaldt,Peter Arendt Jensen,K.G. Knudsen,Anker Degn Jensen +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, two general routes for bio-oil upgrading have been considered: hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and zeolite cracking, where zeolites, e.g. HZSM-5, are used as catalysts for the deoxygenization reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual role of microalgae: Phycoremediation of domestic wastewater and biomass production for sustainable biofuels production
TL;DR: The use of high rate algal ponds (HRAPs) for nutrient removal has been in existence for some decades though the technology has not been fully harnessed for wastewater treatment as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: This review starts with the current understanding of the chemistry in fast pyrolysis of lignocellulose and focuses on the development of catalysts in catalytic fast pyrosynthesis, with the emphasis on bio-oil yields and quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production
TL;DR: An empirical and critical analysis on the potential of translating research findings from laboratory scale trials to full scale application and current methods for biomass harvesting and lipid extraction are critically evaluated.
