The renewable lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable feedstock for the production of
bioethanol, which shows the potential to replace fossil fuels. Due to the recalcitrant structure …

Manufacturing of bioethylene via dehydration of bioethanol is an alternative to the fossil‐
based ethylene production and decreases the environmental consequences for this …

Many years have passed since the first genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae
strains capable of fermenting xylose were obtained with the promise of an environmentally …

A nonenzymatic route for xylose isomerization in an aqueous medium using zeolite Sn-beta
as a catalyst is demonstrated. Xylulose and lyxose are the primary and secondary products …

For a hundred years or more, oil and natural gas has supplied fuel and other raw chemicals
to support economic growth. In the last decades their shrinking reservoirs and the increasing …

The considerable increase in biodiesel production worldwide in the last 5 years resulted in a
stoichiometric increased coproduction of crude glycerol. As an excess of crude glycerol has …

Acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, required for bioethanol production, generates
large amounts of by‐products, such as lignin and hydrolyzed hemicellulose fractions, which …

Many species of yeast are integral to human society. They produce many of our foods,
beverages and industrial chemicals, challenge us as pathogens, and provide models for the …

Marine algal biofuel is considered a promising solution for energy and environmental
challenges. Macroalgal biomass has the potential for bypassing the shortcoming of first and …

With a diverse and widely distributed global resource base, woody biomass is a compelling
organic feedstock for conversion to renewable liquid fuels. In California, woody biomass …
