Biomass to energy: a machine learning model for optimum gasification pathways

Berend Smit, Susana Garcia Lopez, Kevin Maik Jablonka

Biomass is a highly versatile renewable resource for decarbonizing energy systems. Gasification is a promising conversion technology that can transform biomass into multiple energy carriers to produce heat, electricity, biofuels, or chemicals. At present, ...

Symbiotic nutrient cycling enables the long-term survival of Aiptasia in the absence of heterotrophic food sources

Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker

Phototrophic Cnidaria are mixotrophic organisms that can complement their het- erotrophic diet with nutrients assimilated by their algal endosymbionts. Metabolic mod- els suggest that the translocation of photosynthates and their derivatives from the algae ...

Critical overview of biomass feedstocks as sustainable substrates for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)

Edgard Gnansounou, Ranjna Sirohi

Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) are a class of biopolymers produced by different microbial species and are biodegradable and biocompatible in nature as opposed to petrochemically derived plastics. PHBs have advanced applications in medical sector, packaging in ...

Thermo-economic and environmental comparison of supercritical water and enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse in a biorefinery concept

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

In this study, we discuss the difference regarding thermo-economic and environmental (water intake) aspects between two methods of biomass hydrolysis. A thermo-economic model was developed using Aspen Plus® and MATLAB software in order to analyze the energ ...

Integration of deep geothermal energy and woody biomass conversion pathways in urban systems

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Léda Gerber, Emanuela Peduzzi

Urban systems account for about two-thirds of global primary energy consumption and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, with a projected increasing trend. Deep geothermal energy and woody biomass can be used for the production of heat, electricity and ...

CO Methanation for Synthetic Natural Gas Production

Tilman J. Schildhauer

Energy from woody biomass could supplement renewable energy production towards the replacement of fossil fuels. A multi-stage process involving gasification of wood and then catalytic transformation of the producer gas to synthetic natural gas (SNG) repres ...

A novel crude glycerol assisted surfactant pretreatment strategy of chili post-harvest residue for bioethanol production

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

A novel crude glycerol assisted surfactant pretreatment was evaluated for bioethanol production from chili post-harvest residue. Among the various surfactants screened crude glycerol assisted polyethylene glycol (PEG) pretreatment was found to be more effe ...

Microalgae for wastewater treatment, CO2 mitigation and biofuels : dream or sustainable maid for all work?

Christof Holliger, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Eduardo Pereira Gomes, Stephen Mackay

Over the last decade, intensive research has been carried out all over the world to explore the huge potential of microalgae for biofuel production, which could be coupled to the use of industrial flue gas to enhance CO2 fixation as a greenhouse gas mitiga ...

Toward the sustainable cultivation of microalgae to produce renewable biofuels and fine chemicals

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Microalgae are considered as renewable feedstock for the production of next-generation biofuels. However to achieve the financial sustainability to the algal biofuel production, it will be necessary to integrate it with the processing of high-value product ...
