Fuel, animal feed, other major carbon-rich products could have a sustainable replacement with the help of a new approach to processing a plant biomass material produced naturally by plants during ...

Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass represents a promising pathway towards a sustainable energy future. Lignocellulosic biomass—comprising cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—provides ...

This project aims to develop a comprehensive strategy for the efficient and total conversion of lignocellulosic biomass—such as corn stover, bamboo, and switchgrass—into fermentable sugars, ...

Thermochemical conversion of biomass is an encouraging way for the production of syngas. In the present research, four different biomass materials were used for gasification which includes rice husk, ...

The promise of affordable transportation fuels from biomass -- a sustainable, carbon neutral route to American energy independence -- has been left perpetually on hold by the economics of the ...

Pretreating plant biomass with THF-water causes lignin globules on the cellulose surface to expand and break away from one another and the cellulose fibers. The expanded lignin is also more exposed to ...

(Nanowerk News) A new catalytic process is able to convert what was once considered biomass waste into lucrative chemical products that can be used in fragrances, flavorings or to create high-octane ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Increasing production of second-generation biofuels – those made from non-food biomass such as switchgrass, biomass sorghum, and corn stover – would lessen our reliance on ...

The main focus is the UK role for biomass conversion, and the business and commericial implications of the technologies being developed. This conference will explore the commercial potential for ...

The global push for sustainable energy and carbon-neutral fuels has accelerated the innovation in biomass-to-energy conversion. Traditional methods like combustion, gasification, and anaerobic ...
