The global biofuels market is expected to rise from $82.7 billion in 2011 to $185.3 billion in 2021. Genetic engineering paves its way towards efficient biomass conversion into biofuel through metabolic manipulations. Present article is an effort to explore the role of Biotechnology engineering in Yeast as a tool towards efficient production of bioethanol through economically comprehensive rout...

In this study the effects of autoclave, microwave and ultrasonic pretreatments with or withoutacid addition were investigated on the amount of glucose, soluble and insoluble lignin, furfural, yeast viabilityand bioethanol. The findings showed that autoclave-acid impregnated sample, has the highest glucose releasefrom lignocellulose materials (14.61 and 14.95 g/l for solvent exposed and untreate...

The threat of climate change has intensified efforts toward the development of safer alternatives to depleting fossil fuels (Cox et al., 2000). Lignocellulosic bioethanol is considered to be a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Though lignocellulosic biomass is available in massive quantities and is renewable (Dillon and Dillon, 2003; Lynd et al., 2008; Pauly and K...

Bioethanol and hydrogen as a new source of energy are being strongly considered by industries and scientific community for causing less pollution and being cheaper when compared with fossil fuels. In this context, a new kind of engine, called fuel cells, that uses electrochemistry, thermodynamics and transport phenomena (fluid mechanics, heat transfer and mass transfer) concepts to convert hydr...

The objective of this study was to use DRIFT spectroscopy with uni- and multivariate molecular spectral analyses as a novel approach to detect molecular features of spectra mainly associated with carbohydrate in the co-products (wheat DDGS, corn DDGS, blend DDGS) from bioethanol processing in comparison with original feedstock (wheat (Triticum), corn (Zea mays)). The carbohydrates related molec...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND While the ethanol production from biomass by consolidated bioprocess (CBP) is considered to be the most ideal process, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is the most appropriate strategy in practice. In this study, one-pot bioethanol production, including cellulase production, saccharification of cellulose, and ethanol production, was investigated for ...

Cachaza is a type of non-centrifugal sugarcane press-mud that, if it is not employed efficiently, generates water pollution, soil eutrophication, and the spread of possible pathogens. This biomass can be fermented to produce bioethanol. Our intention is to obtain bioethanol that can be catalytically reformed to produce hydrogen (H2) for further use in fuel cells for electricity production. Howe...

bioethanol made from lignocelluloses biomass resources, provides unique environmental, economic and strategic benefits, when compared to gasoline as automobile fuel. to be able to substitute gasoline by bioethanol, one should over come many obstacles, including the production of furfural and hydroxyl-methyl furfural, which are produced when cellulosic materials are treated in the presence of ac...
