Potentials and Challenges of Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cluster of Excellence (CoE) ̈Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass ̈ (TMFB) takes an interdisciplinary research approach towards new synthetic fuels based on biomass feedstock. New target-designed synthesis pathways, employing novel catalytic systems, reaction solvents and tightly integrated production processes, which embed intensified process units for fuel production, are considered to create new tailormade fuels most efficiently. The potential of the fuel as an optimisation parameter for future lowtemperature combustion technologies for internal combustion engines will be fundamentally explored.

متن کاملBiomass for thermochemical conversion: targets and challenges
Bioenergy will be one component of a suite of alternatives to fossil fuels. Effective conversion of biomass to energy will require the careful pairing of advanced conversion technologies with biomass feedstocks optimized for the purpose. Lignocellulosic biomass can be converted to useful energy products via two distinct pathways: enzymatic or thermochemical conversion. The thermochemical pathwa...
متن کاملSimple chemical transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into furans for fuels and chemicals.
Lignocellulosic biomass is a plentiful and renewable resource for fuels and chemicals. Despite this potential, nearly all renewable fuels and chemicals are now produced from edible resources, such as starch, sugars, and oils; the challenges imposed by notoriously recalcitrant and heterogeneous lignocellulosic feedstocks have made their production from nonfood biomass inefficient and uneconomica...
متن کاملCatalytic conversion of biomass to chemicals and fuels- new challenges and bottlenecks
Independence of the limited fossil fuel supplies as a main source of energy and chemicals remains a highly attractive perspective [1]. Biomass of the second to fourth generation constitutes a possible solution. Due to its recalcitrant nature, its conversion is however not trivial. Moreover, molecules obtained from biomass need further upgrading which is mostly done by hydrogenation, with fossil...
متن کاملA mini review on renewable sources for biofuel.
Rapid growth in both global energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions associated with the use of fossil fuels has driven the search for alternative sources which are renewable and have a lower environmental impact. This paper reviews the availability and bioenergy potentials of the current biomass feedstocks. These include (i) food crops such as sugarcane, corn and vegetable oils, classified a...
