Green biofuels and bioproducts: bases for sustainability analysis
Currently, the chemical industry is largely petroleum based and although the number of ongoing large-scale biocatalytic processes is relatively low, a trend in growth is expected and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and other agencies aim to have 30% of the total chemical industry based on renewable sources by 2050 (Philp et al., 2013). At present, a good number ...
متن کاملSQCB - Sustainability Quick Check Tool for Biofuels
The paper deals with the conception and technical development of the “Sustainability Quick Check for Biofuels” (hereafter SQCB). The SQCB is a tool to evaluate the impacts of biofuel production on environment. Against the background of mineral oil tax remission in Switzerland providers or dealers of energy crops or biofuels in developing countries can do a legally non-binding check if their pro...
متن کاملHow Green Are Biofuels?
Y chromosome in a single fly strain (ensuring an otherwise common genetic background). They then screened a nearly genome-wide set of genes and looked for differences in gene expression in response to the substituted Y chromosome. Because of high statistical error rates when thousands of genes are scored simultaneously, it is difficult to estimate the exact number of affected genes, but the est...
متن کاملUncertainty analysis of the environmental sustainability of biofuels
Background: Faced with a changing climate, bioenergy has been promoted as a sustainable resource. However, while it is a renewable energy source, biofuel cultivation comes with several environmental problems such as land use change and water consumption, the environmental impacts of which often counterbalance the reduced global warming potential compared to fossil alternatives. Methods: This pa...
متن کاملEngineering Plant Biomass Lignin Content and Composition for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Lignin is an aromatic biopolymer involved in providing structural support to plant cell walls. Compared to the other cell wall polymers, i.e., cellulose and hemicelluloses, lignin has been considered a hindrance in cellulosic bioethanol production due to the complexity involved in its separation from other polymers of various biomass feedstocks. Nevertheless, lignin is a potential source of val...
