The structure of lignin suggests that it can be a valuable source of chemicals, particularly
phenolics. However, lignin depolymerization with selective bond cleavage is the major …

Bioethanol production from non-crop based lignocellulosic material has reached the
commercial scale and is advocated as a possible solution to decarbonize the transport …

Biofuels produced from various lignocellulosic materials have the potential to be a valuable
substitute for, or complement to, gasoline. Many physicochemical structural and …

Lignocellulosic materials, which consist mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, are
among the most promising renewable feedstocks for the production of energy and …

A detailed thermo-economic model considering different technological alternatives for
thermochemical production of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) from lignocellulosic biomass is …

Coal is the primary source of energy for most of the countries in the world. Although the main
use of coal is in the generation of electricity, recently synthesis of liquid fuel from coal is …

In this article, we address the conceptual design of the bioethanol process from switchgrass
via gasification. A superstructure is postulated for optimizing energy use that embeds direct …

Bioethanol is the main biofuel used in Brazil and USA, produced from sugarcane and corn.
Nevertheless, the use of food to produce ethanol has to be replaced by agroindustrial waste …

In this paper, we review the current effort toward the design of production processes from
different sources of biomass including first, second, and third generation of biofuels such as …

Global research and industrial development of liquid transportation biofuels are moving at a
rapid pace. This is mainly due to the significant roles played by biofuels in decarbonising our …
