Biorefinery Based on Waste Biomass

Energy Opportunities from Lignocellulosic Biomass for a Biorefinery Case Study

This work presents some energy considerations concerning a biorefinery case study that has been carried out by the CRB/CIRIAF of the University of Perugia. The biorefinery is the case study of the BIT3G project, a national funded research project, and it uses the lignocellulosic biomass that is available in the territory as input materials for biochemical purposes, such as cardoon and carthamus...

Lignocellulosic Biomass Utilization Toward Biorefinery Using Meshophilic Clostridial Species

Biorefinery Processes for Biomass Conversion to Liquid Fuel

The development of products derived from biomass is emerging as an important force component for economic development in the world. Rising oil prices and uncertainty over the security of existing fossil reserves, combined with concerns over global climate change, have created the need for new transportation fuels and for the manufacture of bioproducts to substitute for fossil-based materials. T...

Integrated utilisation of green biomass in the green biorefinery

Grass, clover and alfalfa are used for production of fodder pellets. In the green crop drying factories in the northern countries the drying is combined with pressing of the green crops resulting in production of large volumes of plant juices, green and brown juice. In order to get rid of these enormous amounts of plant juice, representing an environmental threat, it is our aim to convert the s...

The biorefinery in New York: woody biomass into commercial ethanol

HIS PAPER REPORTS the application of ESF (College of Environmental Science and Forestry) Biorefinery concepts and technology in New York State industry. This is a planned application linking at least three industrial companies to reduce the time to practice. A wood-based biorefinery is being erected in New York. Identifying the strengths of the participating companies and required competencies ...
