The superstructure optimization of algae‐based hydrocarbon biorefinery with sequestration
of CO2 from power plant flue gas is proposed. The major processing steps include carbon …

In this work technical and economic analyses were performed to evaluate the glycerol
transformation into Polyhydroxybutyrate using Bacillus megaterium. The production of PHB …

We develop a framework for the identification and evaluation of biomass-to-fuel production
strategies. We generate a technology superstructure that consists of a wide range of …

Systems technologies emerge with a powerful potential to support the deployment and
design of future biorefineries. The chemical industry experiences a steady growth in the use …

The growing biodiesel production has generated a glycerol surplus and consequently a
drop of its sale price. The development of biorefineries to convert crude glycerol to higher …

Lignin is a promising alternative to petrochemical precursors for conversion to industrial-
needed products. Organosolv lignins were extracted from different agricultural wastes …

The use of crude oil as energy source and raw material to produce chemicals has
deteriorated the environment. For this reason, biomass is a representative renewable …

Biodiesel is a promising alternative to conventional fuels. Research on biodiesel has vast
experimental findings, but the outcomes are not always unidirectional. The sequence of unit …

Palm oil production has increased significantly, specifically in Indonesia and Malaysia.
However, this growth has raised environmental concerns due to the high discharge of empty …

Process engineering can potentially provide the means to develop economically viable and
environmentally friendly technologies for the production of fuel ethanol. Focusing on a key …
