Implications of productivity and nutrient requirements on greenhouse gas balance of annual and perennial bioenergy crops

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the cost/benefit approach proposed by Crutzen et al. (2008) was applied to these "optimized" situations to calculate a posteriori 'optimized' fertilization practices, which would ensure a sustainable production with a nil balance of nutrients.

Potentials of agricultural and agro-industrial crop residues for the displacement of fossil fuels: A Philippine context

TL;DR: In this article, a retrospective review of the available crop residues in the Philippines was presented, and their potentials in displacing fossil fuels like that of coal, gasoline, diesel, and natural gas were estimated and assessed.

Ultrasound-catalyzed tempo-mediated oxidation of native cellulose for the production of nanocellulose: effect of process variables

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ultrasound in oxidizing native cellulose for the production of nanocellulose, and showed a ca. 10% increase in the yield when compared to the TEMPO-system without sono-catalysis.

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.
