Bioconversion of pentose sugars to value added chemicals and fuels: Recent trends, challenges and possibilities

Edgard Gnansounou, Vinod Kumar

Most of the crop plants contain about 30% of hemicelluloses comprising D-xylose and D-arabinose. One of the major limitation for the use of pentose sugars is that high purity grade D-xylose and D-arabinose are yet to be produced as commodity chemicals. Res ...

Equilibrium commodity prices with irreversible investment and non-linear technologies

Pierre Collin Dufresne

We model oil price dynamics in a general equilibrium production economy with two goods: a consumption good and oil. Production of the consumption good requires drawing from oil reserves at a fixed rate. Investment necessary to replenish oil reserves is cos ...
