Biomass residues revaluation with energy production in a nursery company

Energy production from biomass (Part 1): Overview of biomass.

The use of renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly necessary, if we are to achieve the changes required to address the impacts of global warming. Biomass is the most common form of renewable energy, widely used in the third world but until recently, less so in the Western world. Latterly much attention has been focused on identifying suitable biomass species, which can provide high-en...

Energy Production with Biomass: What Are the Prospects?

The advantages and limitations of the U.S. ethanol industry have both become apparent during the current period of high petroleum prices. One advantage is that ethanol is cost-reducing as a gasoline additive and as a gasoline replacement using E85 (motor fuel blends of 85 percent ethanol and just 15 percent gasoline). However, corn supply limits ethanol’s role in energy markets; ethanolbased co...

Ethanol production from a biomass mixture of furfural residues with green liquor-peroxide saccarified cassava liquid

BACKGROUND As the most abundant renewable resources, lignocellulosic materials are ideal candidates as alternative feedstock for bioethanol production. Cassava residues (CR) are byproducts of the cassava starch industry which can be mixed with lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production. The presence of lignin in lignocellulosic substrates can inhibit saccharification by reducing the cellu...

Optimally running a biomass-based energy production process

A multi-plant biomass-based energy production process is able to extract the chemical energy from various agricultural products. Such a process consists of several plants that are able to deal with biomasses of different types. Each type of plant has distinct mass-to-energy yields for each particular product type. Since the scale of the process may be geographically wide, transportation costs a...
