Algae: Advanced Biofuels and Other Opportunities
Abstract Despite the challenges, depending on the local conditions and practices, renewable energy sources are already a significant contribution to the energy mix. Although this is true for electricity generation, the same does not apply for the transportation sector, where the available renewable sources are limited and still have a modest impact in the overall consumption. In this context, a...
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...
متن کاملAn overview of key pretreatment processes employed for bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and value added products
The hunt for alternative sources of energy generation that are inexpensive, ecofriendly, renewable and can replace fossil fuels is on, owing to the increasing demands of energy. One approach in this direction is the conversion of plant residues into biofuels wherein lignocellulose, which forms the structural framework of plants consisting of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, is first broken ...
متن کاملSpecial Issue from the NSERC Bioconversion network workshop: pretreatment and fractionation of biomass for biorefinery/biofuels
World demand for energy and commodity chemicals continues to increase at a rapid pace in parallel with global industrialization and economic development. The current annual global energy demand of 13 billion tonnes of oil equivalent (btoe) is predicted to increase by 35% in 2035 [1]. The convenience, infrastructure investment and high energy content of liquid hydrocarbons makes them the preferr...
متن کاملRhodosporidium toruloides: a new platform organism for conversion of lignocellulose into terpene biofuels and bioproducts
BACKGROUND Economical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and bioproducts is central to the establishment of a robust bioeconomy. This requires a conversion host that is able to both efficiently assimilate the major lignocellulose-derived carbon sources and divert their metabolites toward specific bioproducts. RESULTS In this study, the carotenogenic yeast Rhodosporidium torul...
