Miscanthus : a fast - growing crop for biofuels and chemicals production
Miscanthus represents a key cand idate energy crop for use in biomass-to-liquid fuel-conversion processes and biorefi neries to produce a range of liquid fuels and chemicals; it has recently attracted considerable attention. Its yield, elemental composition, carbohydrate and lignin content and composition are of high importance to be reviewed for future biofuel production and development. Start...
متن کاملLivelihood implications of biofuel crop production: Implications for governance
While much attention has focused on the climate change mitigation potential of biofuels, research from the social sciences increasingly highlights the social and livelihood impacts of their expanded production. Policy and governance measures aimed at improving the social effects of biofuels have proliferated but questions remain about their effectiveness across the value chain. This paper perfo...
متن کاملThe pretreatment of miscanthus using ionic liquids; a way for biofuel production
Biomass, as fuel source, is renewable, environmentally friendly and abundant in the natural world. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential source of renewable energy for transportation fuels through the conversion of fermentable sugars derived from cellulose and hemicelluloses to biofuels. A lignocellulosic material contains up to 35-50% cellulose which is the most abundant biopolymer on the ear...
متن کاملVariation in canopy duration in the perennial biofuel crop Miscanthus reveals complex associations with yield
Energy crops can provide a sustainable source of power and fuels, and mitigate the negative effects of CO2 emissions associated with fossil fuel use. Miscanthus is a perennial C4 energy crop capable of producing large biomass yields whilst requiring low levels of input. Miscanthus is largely unimproved and therefore there could be significant opportunities to increase yield. Further increases i...
متن کاملPredicting Potential Global Distributions of Two Miscanthus Grasses: Implications for Horticulture, Biofuel Production, and Biological Invasions
In many regions, large proportions of the naturalized and invasive non-native floras were originally introduced deliberately by humans. Pest risk assessments are now used in many jurisdictions to regulate the importation of species and usually include an estimation of the potential distribution in the import area. Two species of Asian grass (Miscanthus sacchariflorus and M. sinensis) that were ...
