Comparative Evaluation of Three Sugarcane Supply Strategies in Colombia: Logistics, Energy and GHG Emissions

François Maréchal, Jairo Alexander Lozano Moreno

Sugarcane-based ethanol in Colombia has a prospective opportunity to explore the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass taking into account that a large amount of generated residues (between 50 and 100 t/ha) are left on the field after green ha ...

Optimum Biorefinery Pathways Selection Using the Integer-Cuts Constraint Method Applied to a MILP Problem

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Alberto Mian, Stefano Maronese

Biorefineries are multi-product facilities that convert biomass into a broad variety of products (energy, biofuels, chemicals, feed, and food). In this paper, a new systematic approach to select and rank different biorefinery conversion pathways is propose ...

Lignin monomer production integrated into the γ-valerolactone sugar platform

Jeremy Luterbacher

We demonstrate an experimental approach for upgrading lignin that has been isolated from corn stover via biomass fractionation using c-valerolactone (GVL) as a solvent. This GVL-based approach can be used in parallel with lignin upgrading to produce solubl ...

Thermo-Economic Optimisation of Integrated Ethanol and Methanol Production in the Sugarcane Industry

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Emanuela Peduzzi, Priscilla Caliandro, Sandro Onorati

The present paper evaluated a sugarcane biorefinery producing ethanol, through the conventional process by sugars fermentation and methanol through bagasse and leaves gasification, hot cleaning and synthesis. The sugarcane biorefinery was modelled using fl ...

New proposal for production of bioactive compounds by supercritical technology integrated to a sugarcane biorefinery

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

The construction of a supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) plant inside or in close proximity to a sugarcane biorefinery producing first and second generation ethanol demonstrated to be very promising, increasing the economic potential of the SFE process i ...

Enhanced Conversion of Carbohydrates to the Platform Chemical 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Designer Ionic Liquids

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Gabor Laurenczy, Zhaofu Fei, Ning Yan, Sviatlana Siankevich

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a key platform chemical that may be obtained from various cellulosic (biomass) derivatives. Previously, it has been shown that ionic liquids (ILs) facilitate the catalytic conversion of glucose into HMF. Herein, we demonstr ...

Investment and production costs of synthetic fuels - A literature survey

Guillaume Boissonnet, Emanuela Peduzzi

Synthetic fuels, or synfuels, can be produced from gas, coal and biomass. The conversion of gas and coal is well established but lignocellulosic biomass conversion is slow to develop. This paper addresses the issue of the production cost of second generati ...

Thermo-Economic Optimization of Integrated First and Second Generation Sugarcane Ethanol Plant

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Victor Codina Gironès, Juliana Queiroz Albarelli

The sugarcane industry has been responsible in some countries for the production of most of the sugar and ethanol available in the world for internal and external markets. In this sector, ethanol can be produced by fermentation of sugars obtained directly ...

Process Integration of Lignocellulosic Biomass Pre-treatment in the Thermo-Chemical Production of F-T Fuels. Centralised Versus Decentralised Scenarios

François Maréchal, Guillaume Boissonnet, Emanuela Peduzzi

The purpose of this study is to evaluate, in terms of process integration, the centralised and decentralised pre-treatment of lignocellulosic biomass for its thermo-chemical conversion into liquid fuels through gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthe ...
