BACKGROUND Net emissions of CO2 by human activities—including not only energy
services and industrial production but also land use and agriculture—must approach zero in …

Lignocellulosic feedstock materials are the most abundant renewable bioresource material
available on earth. It is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which are …

Plants represent a vast, renewable resource and are well suited to provide sustainably for
humankind's transportation fuel needs. To produce infrastructure-compatible fuels from …

Biofuel and bioenergy systems are integral to most climate stabilization scenarios for
displacement of transport sector fossil fuel use and for producing negative emissions via …

This paper addresses the optimal design and planning of biomass-to-liquids (BTL) supply
chains under economic and environmental criteria. The supply chain consists of multisite …

With diminishing oil supplies and growing political instability in oil‐producing nations, the
world is facing a major energy threat which needs to be solved by virtue of alternative …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) data quality issues were investigated by using case studies on
products from starch–polyvinyl alcohol based biopolymers and petrochemical alternatives …

The incorporation of sustainability in the design of biorefineries is central for the
development of the biobased economy. In this paper sustainability methods and metrics in …

Grasses as lignocellulose biomass are promising feed stocks for renewable bioethanol
production, since these raw materials have high productivity, require low agricultural inputs …

Rapid growth in demand for lignocellulosic bioenergy will require major changes in supply
chain infrastructure. Even with densification and preprocessing, transport volumes by mid …
