Oleaginous yeast platform for producing biofuels via co-solvent hydrothermal liquefaction
BACKGROUND Oleaginous microorganisms are attractive feedstock for production of liquid biofuels. Direct hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is an efficient route that converts whole, wet biomass into an energy-dense liquid fuel precursor, called 'biocrude'. HTL represents a promising alternative to conventional lipid extraction methods as it does not require a dry feedstock or additional steps for ...
متن کاملHydrothermal Liquefaction of Bacteria and Yeast Monocultures
We hydrothermally treated monocultures of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus subtilis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at isothermal (350 °C for 60 min) and fast (rapid heating for 1 min) liquefaction conditions. Fast hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of P. putida and S. cerevisiae produced the highest biocrude yields of 47 ± 13 and 48 ± 9 wt %, respectively. Biocrudes generated via fast...
متن کاملLife-cycle assessment of transportation biofuels from hydrothermal liquefaction of forest residues in British Columbia
Background Biofuels from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of abundantly available forest residues in British Columbia (BC) can potentially make great contributions to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector. A life-cycle assessment was conducted to quantify the GHG emissions of a hypothetic 100 million liters per year HTL biofuel system in the Coast Region of BC....
متن کاملMicrobial utilization of aqueous co-products from hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata.
Hydrothermal liquefaction of algae biomass is a promising technology for the production of sustainable biofuels, but the non-oil, aqueous co-product of the process has only been examined to a limited extent. The aqueous phase from liquefaction of the alga Nannochloropsis oculata (AqAl) was used to make growth media for model heterotrophic microorganisms Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, and...
متن کاملPilot-scale data provide enhanced estimates of the life cycle energy and emissions profile of algae biofuels produced via hydrothermal liquefaction.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used widely to estimate the environmental implications of deploying algae-to-energy systems even though no full-scale facilities have yet to be built. Here, data from a pilot-scale facility using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is used to estimate the life cycle profiles at full scale. Three scenarios (lab-, pilot-, and full-scale) were defined to understand...
