Vegetable oil from canola and camelina can be converted to renewable diesel via hydroprocessing. In this study, a techno‐economic model was developed to estimate the cost of vegetable oil production...
In a bio‐based economy, chemicals, materials, biofuels, and other forms of energy will be produced from biomass. Pressure on agricultural land will thus increase, calling for highly efficient...
The current fossil‐based economy is moving towards a more bio‐based economy. To enable this transition, many different processes for biorefinery are being developed. Small‐scale biorefinery processes...
In this review, possible process steps for the production of bio‐based industrial chemicals from glutamic acid are described, including a techno‐economic assessment of all processes. The products...
Economies in transition (EiTs) (e. g. Ukraine (UA), Belarus, Moldova, etc.) are significantly dependent on energy imports, and require revitalization of their agricultural sectors and improvements in...
The presence of lignin in lignocellulosic biomass leads to a protective barrier which prevents enzymes from being accessible to cellulose and hemicellulose for hydrolysis. As a result, pre‐treatment...
The aqueous fractionation of native lignocellulosic materials with hot, compressed water (also known as hydrothermal processing or autohydrolysis) has been proposed as a fractionation method for...
Among biofuel production processes using microalgal biomass, biogas generation seems to be the least complex. This review summarizes information regarding anaerobic digestion of different microalgae...
The production costs of a lignocellulosic ethanol process, both currently and projected for 2020, were compared to a corn ethanol process, to determine its economic competitiveness. A techno‐economic...
The longer we wait, the poorer and less able we will be to make the renewable power transition. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
