Production of Biobutanol from inulin-rich biomass and industrial food processing wastes
… Butanol could occupy a significant portion of advanced biofuel markets if the economics of ABE fermentation process improve. Although, butanol toxicity, low yield, and high butanol recovery costs are some of the challenges of ABE fermentation, high substrate cost still makes up least 50% of the …

The Future of Biofuels: “An Investigation of Science and Policy in the UK/EU”
Biofuels were first used, as motor fuel (bioethanol) in 1860 in Germany and soon after, biofuels became the main rival for petroleum. But the abundance and the low price of fossil fuels had severe impact on the use of biofuels. Decades later, in 1970s, the shortage of fossil fuels due to the …

Welfare effects of biofuel policies in the presence of environmental externalities and pre-existing distortions
Policy intervention in the biofuel market has led to a significant increase in biofuel production and use in the past several years. However, the welfare effect of biofuel policies, specifically the ethanol tax credit for corn ethanol, ethanol import tariff and renewable fuel standard (RFS) mandate …
