Biofuel supply chain restructuring -- An economic viability and environmental sustainability investigation for enhancing second generation biofuel adoption
<p>"Biofuel is a promising clean alternative to fossil fuels. Currently, first generation biofuels are commercially produced by using corn grain as biomass feedstock. However, the use of edible matter of crops, may lead to a competition between food and fuel. Therefore, there is a significant push …

Enhancing Bioethanol Fermentation through Removal of Acetic Acid Using Liquid-Liquid Extraction
… for sustainable producing carbon-neutral energy. Second-generation biofuel refers to liquid fuels that are produced from non-food resources and reduce the total greenhouse gas emission by at least 60 %. Acetic acid has been shown to be one of the most ubiquitous fermentation inhibitors in a …

Biohydrogen production in Escherichia coli – a synthetic biology approach
… as a fully renewable, commercially-viable second-generation biofuel. Bio-H2 can be produced at ambient temperatures by metal-dependent hydrogenase enzymes, with potentially no CO or H2S contamination, and is a carbon neutral/positive process.<br/>Escherichia coli naturally produces Bio-H2 …

Genomic selection for accelerated barley breeding
… with future climate policy, an increase in biofuel production will be useful as we reduce our reliance on fossil-based fuels. Second generation biofuels (produced from non-food sources) are promising for meeting sustainability targets as they need not result in land/resource competition with …

Novel technologies for microalgae cultivation and subsequent lipid extraction
… of renewable sources of energy such as biofuels is recognized to be critical to fulfill a sustainable economy and face global climate changes (Cheng and Timilsina, 2011). Therefore, biofuels deriving from feedstocks such as plants, organic wastes or algae could help to reduce the world’s …
