Feedstock
The climate benefits of cellulosic biofuels have been challenged based on carbon debt, opportunity costs, and indirect land use change, prompting calls for withdrawing support...
BACKGROUND Macroalgae are gaining increasing interest as an important biomass feedstock. Yet when valorising marine biomass, the presence of salt can pose a substantial obstacle...
Comparative review of three approaches to biofuel production from energy crops as feedstock in a developing country
This study is a comparative evaluation of three approaches to biofuel production from energy crops including biogas, bioethanol and biodiesel to ascertain which one is the most effective and more energy-efficient...
The aim of this study was to conduct the first comprehensive life cycle assessment and economic analysis on ethanol produced from agave. Compositional and field data from a field experiment in Queensland...
A path for lignin valorization via additive manufacturing of high-performance sustainable composites with enhanced 3D printability
We report the manufacture of printable, sustainable polymer systems to address global challenges associated with high-volume utilization of lignin, an industrial waste from biomass feedstock. By analyzing a common...
Field-grown transgenic switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) with altered lignin does not affect soil chemistry, microbiology, and carbon storage potential
Cell wall recalcitrance poses a major challenge on cellulosic biofuel production from feedstocks such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). As lignin is a known contributor of recalcitrance, transgenic...
Enhancing the productivity of hybrid poplar (Populus × hybrid) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) by the application of beneficial soil microbes and a seaweed extract
This study investigates the use of Azospirillum brasilense N8, Penicillium bilaii, Variovorax paradoxus JM63, and a seaweed ( Ascophyllum nodosum ) extract (ANE) on growth and nutrient...
The European Union relies largely on bioenergy to achieve its climate and energy targets for 2020 and beyond. We assess, using Attributional Life Cycle Assessment (A-LCA)...
