Improving Heterogeneous Catalyst Stability for Liquid-phase Biomass Conversion and Reforming

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz

Biomass is a possible renewable alternative to fossil carbon sources. Today, many bio-resources can be converted to direct substitutes or suitable alternatives to fossil-based fuels and chemicals. However, catalyst deactivation under the harsh, often liqui ...

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 ...

Nonenzymatic Sugar Production from Biomass Using Biomass-Derived gamma-Valerolactone

Jeremy Luterbacher

Widespread production of biomass-derived fuels and chemicals will require cost-effective processes for breaking down cellulose and hemicellulose into their constituent sugars. Here, we report laboratory-scale production of soluble carbohydrates from corn s ...

Intensity of Light Incident and Photoperiod of LED illumination based system on Scenedesmus vacuolatus growth

Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Olivier Laurent Emery

The proposal of SunCHem project is to produce methane from the hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgal biomass and recovery high-value products in a bio-refinery concept. In this sense the Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory of EPFL (LBE) has developing ...

Microalgal carotenoid recovery in a biorefinery approach

Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Olivier Laurent Emery

Introduction Microalgae culture to be effective as feedstock for bio-energy production needs to overcome constraining biotechnological, technological and economic factors [1]. In order to establish an economically viable process, the co-production of renew ...

H2 processes with CO2 mitigation: Thermo-economic modeling and process integration

François Maréchal, Laurence Tock

Within the challenge of greenhouse gas reduction, hydrogen is regarded as a promising decarbonized energy vector. The hydrogen production by natural gas reforming and lignocellulosic biomass gasification are systematically analyzed by developing thermo-eco ...

Thermo-chemical H2 production: Thermo-economic modeling and process integration

François Maréchal, Laurence Tock

Within the global challenge of climate change and energy security, hydrogen is considered as a promising decarbonized energy vector to be used in electricity production and transportation. In this paper, the thermo-chemical production of hydrogen by natura ...

The Power of Bioenergy-Related Standards to Protect Biodiversity

Sébastien Haye

The sustainable production of bioenergy is vital to avoiding negative impacts on environmental goods such as climate, soil, water, and especially biodiversity. We propose three key issues that should be addressed in any biodiversity risk-mitigation strateg ...

Techno-economic and environmental evaluation of lignocellulosic biochemical refineries: need for a modular platform for integrated assessment (MPIA)

Edgard Gnansounou, Juan David Villegas Gomez

Ethanol production from lignocellulosic residues has potential to significantly improve sustainability of biofuels for transport by avoiding land-use competition with food crops and reducing impacts related to agricultural inputs. However, high production ...

Promoting Bioethanol Production through Clean Development Mechanism: Findings and lessons learnt from ASIATIC project

Edgard Gnansounou, Arnaud Dauriat

Global climate change mitigation policies call for increasing use of biomass fuels as renewable substitutes to fossil energy resources. Quantified targets for biofuels introduction in to the market exist in the United States, the European Union, and a numb ...
