Production of xylooligosaccharides and cellulosic ethanol from steam-exploded barley straw

TL;DR: In this article, two different process configurations were compared: separate hydrolysis and fermentation or prehydrolysis with simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (PSSF), and two glycoside hydrolases (GH) families 10 and 11 endoxylanases were used.

Near-Complete Recovery of Sugar Monomers from Cellulose and Lignocellulosic Biomass via a Two-Step Process Combining Mechanochemical Hydrolysis and Dilute Acid Hydrolysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step process for achieving near-complete recovery of sugar monomers from crystalline cellulose or lignocellulosic biomass is described.

Controlling weeds in camelina with innovative herbicide-free crop management routes across various environments

TL;DR: Assessing the effect of four crop management routes (CMRs) on weed biomass and camelina yields across various environments in northern France found both DD and CP seemed to be promising alternatives to reduce weed competition without using herbicides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possibilities for near-term bioenergy production and GHG-mitigation through sustainable intensification of agriculture and forestry in Denmark

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how to increase production while at the same time decreasing environmental impact and with only minor consequences on food and feed production in the Danish agriculture and forestry sector.

New Advances in the Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass

TL;DR: Fast pyrolysis is a novel technology capable of converting lignocellulosic biomass into combustible bio-oil with product yields typically above 70 wt%. This transformation brings about notable economic and technical advantages which affect the storage, transportation, processing and utilization of this energy source.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

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.

Fast pyrolysis processes for biomass

TL;DR: Fast pyrolysis for production of liquids has developed considerably since the first experiments in the late 1970s as mentioned in this paper, leading to significant advances in process development and a wide range of reactor configurations that have been developed to meet the stringent requirements for high yields of useful liquids, for use as a fuel in boilers, engines and turbines and as a source of chemical commodities.
