Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass represents a promising pathway towards a sustainable energy future. Lignocellulosic biomass—comprising cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin ...

A new biomass densification pretreatment method using sulfuric acid and metal salts under mild conditions boosts bioethanol production efficiency. It offers cost-effective alternatives for ...

Surplus biomass from the production of flax sheaves, and generated from Brassica carinata, a yellow-flowered plant related to those which engulf fields in spring, can be used to produce bioethanol.

Therefore, it is generally dumped as a waste. Bioethanol can thus be produced by adopting conventional method of dilute acid pre-treatment, neutralisation, filtration, and fermentation.

Producing Bioethanol from Microbial Biomass Microbial biomass has several advantages for the manufacture of bioethanol. Biomass derived from these organisms can be produced cheaply in a short period ...

Posted: Mar 25, 2010 Nanoscale investigation advances bioethanol production from woods (Nanowerk Spotlight) One approach to converting our energy production system to renewable sources is the ...

Lignocellulosic biomass contains bound acetate, which is released upon processing and is an inhibitor of microbial fermentation of sugars into bioethanol. A new study identifies a gene responsible ...

Bioethanol can be burnt in a car engine but some engine modification is needed. Modern petrol engines can use petrol containing up to 10% ethanol without needing any modifications, and most petrol ...
