Sustainability Assessment of 2G Bioethanol Production from Residual Lignocellulosic Biomass

Processes, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(5), С. 987 - 987

Опубликована: Май 13, 2024

The development of sustainable biofuels can help to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate impact climate change. This study analyzes bioethanol production from agro-forestry residual biomass, namely eucalyptus residues corn stover. includes process simulation using Aspen Plus software, followed by economic analysis life cycle assessment (LCA) with SimaPro software applying environmental footprint (EF) 3.0 method. biorefinery’s viability, equipment, costs reveals a positive decision for due logistical transportation costs. minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) obtained was 2.19 €/L 2.45 stover, respectively. From LCA functional unit 1 MJ ethanol, results in single score 37.86 µPt, whereas it is 33.47 µPt. In change category, scenario has an 0.264 kg CO2 eq/MJ while stover leads 0.254 ethanol. In-situ enzyme production, heat integration, use renewable energy sources were also analyzed. Combining situ lowers equivalent emissions 89% both feedstocks, comparison base-case scenario.

Unleashing the Potential of Portuguese Agroforestry Biomass: Extraction, Characterization, and Valorization of Biomolecules

IntechOpen eBooks, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 3, 2025

In this chapter, we explore the vast potential of Portuguese agroforestry biomass as a sustainable source valuable biomolecules. Focusing on extraction, characterization, and valorization compounds, such polysaccharides, phenolics, essential oils from native species like carob, cork oak, aromatic plants or maritime pine, highlight their applications in food, pharmaceutical, innovative bio-based materials. Emphasis is placed eco-friendly extraction techniques functionalization methods to enhance physicochemical properties different biomolecules, thus expanding applicability commercial relevance. By highlighting unexploited diversity biomass, can pave way for an and, platform that not only drive economic growth but also preserve biodiversity, reduce waste, ensure greener more prosperous future.

Biopolymers Derived from Forest Biomass for the Sustainable Textile Industry

Forests, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16(1), С. 163 - 163

Опубликована: Янв. 16, 2025

In line with environmental awareness movements and social concerns, the textile industry is prioritizing sustainability in its strategic planning, product decisions, brand initiatives. The use of non-biodegradable materials, obtained from non-renewable sources, contributes heavily to pollution throughout production chain. As sustainable alternatives, considerable efforts are being made incorporate biodegradable biopolymers derived residual biomass, reasonable costs, replace or reduce synthetic petrochemical-based polymers. However, commercial deployment these dependent on high biomass availability a cost-effective supply. Residual forest lignocellulosic composition seasonably available at low cost, constitutes an attractive renewable resource that might be used as raw material. Thus, this review aims carrying out comprehensive analysis existing literature source new biomaterials for industry, identifying current gaps problems. Three specific considered: lignin recovered bacterial poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) cellulose (BC), which can produced sugar-rich hydrolysates polysaccharide fractions biomass. Lignin, PHA, BC find applications, example, develop fibers technical textiles, thus replacing currently materials. This approach will considerably contribute improving by reducing amount materials upon disposal their impact. Moreover, integration material produce advanced consistent principles circular economy bioeconomy offers potential development innovative industry.
