Trade-off designs of power-to-methane systems via solid-oxide electrolyzer and the application to biogas upgrading

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Ligang Wang, Guillaume Jeanmonod

Solid-oxide electrolyzer based power-to-methane is promising for large-scale energy storage as well as biogas upgrading by efficiently converting intermittent renewable power and CO2 (e.g., in biogas) into synthetic methane. Either air or pure oxygen can b ...

Chapter 7 - Biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass—Current trends and future perspectives

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

For the production of bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass, pretreatment is an important step for breaking the chemical bond present in lignocelluloses. Among the different pretreatment strategies, biological pretreatment is found to be a pro ...

Transition of a South African sugar mill towards a biorefinery. A feasibility assessment

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon, Pavel Vaskan

The survival of the sugar industry in South Africa is under threat due to an unstable and low sugar price, high production cost and old infrastructure. At present, coal and sugarcane bagasse are used as fuels in an inefficient boiler to generate the heat a ...

Comparison of extraction techniques for product diversification in a supercritical water gasification-based sugarcane-wet microalgae biorefinery: Thermoeconomic and environmental analysis

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

This study presents a thermoeconomic and environmental assessment of the extraction of lipids and proteins from wet microalgal biomass in a 3G biorefinery by two different technologies: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and low-pressure solvent extracti ...

Bioethanol Production from Sugarcane Green Harvest Residues Using Auxin-Assisted Pretreatment

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman

Bioethanol and biochemicals from agriculture residues are key alternative for transport fuels and fossil chemicals to environmental impact mitigation and rural economy. In biofuels and biochemicals production, pretreatment is the crucial and energy demandi ...

Thermo-economic analysis and multi-objective optimisation of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to Fischer-Tropsch fuels

François Maréchal, Guillaume Boissonnet, Emanuela Peduzzi

This paper addresses the techno-economic evaluation and optimisation of processes converting lignocellulosic biomass into liquid fuels, through the development of a suitable framework and the modelling and design of Biomass to Liquids (BTL) processes. In p ...

Carbohydrate stabilization extends the kinetic limits of chemical polysaccharide depolymerization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago, Raquel Zambrano Varela

Polysaccharide depolymerization is an essential step for valorizing lignocellulosic biomass. In inexpensive systems such as pure water or dilute acid mixtures, carbohydrate monomer degradation rates exceed hemicellulose—and especially cellulose—depolymeriz ...

Thermoeconomic design of biomass biochemical conversion technologies for advanced fuel, heat and power production

François Maréchal, Theodoros Damartzis, Maxime Alexandre Vigot

The current work addresses the design and assessment of different biomass conversion pathways based on anaerobic digestion for the efficient transformation of the raw materials to a variety of products, including bio-SNG, heat and power. Using a generic su ...
