Plant biomass is a highly abundant renewable resource that can be converted into several
types of high-value-added products, including chemicals, biofuels and advanced materials …

Global climate change is predicted to increase heat, drought, and soil-drying conditions, and
thereby increase crop sensitivity to water vapour pressure deficit, resulting in productivity …

Lignocellulosic material (LCM) has been considered as a potent feedstock for biofuel
production either as gaseous, liquid, and/or solid fuel to meet the energy demands …

Sustainable production of lignocellulosic biofuels requires a sufficient supply of biomass
feedstocks. Agave and Opuntia represent highly water-use efficient bioenergy crops that are …

Lignocellulosic biomass has been proposed as an option for reducing global dependence
on nonrenewable energy sources, such as oil. Selection and development of biomass …

Background Agave-based alcoholic beverage companies generate thousands of tons of
solid residues per year in Mexico. These agave residues might be used for biofuel …

Plant biomass from different species is heterogeneous, and this diversity in composition can
be mined to identify materials of value to fuel and chemical industries. Agave produces high …

Unlike petrorefinery, biorefinery uses carbon-based biomaterials, such as plant feedstocks,
as the major feeding input materials in chemical manufacturing. To date, petroleum-based …

Agave species are high‐yielding crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, some of
which are grown commercially and recognized as potential bioenergy species for dry …

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 …
