The use of energy crops and agricultural residues is expected to increase fulfil the legislative demands bio-based components in transport fuels. Ensiling methods, adapted from feed sector, are suitable storage methods preserve fresh throughout year for, for example, biogas production. Various preservation namely ensiling with without acid addition whole crop maize, fibre hemp faba bean were investigated. For drier hemp, alkaline urea treatment was studied as well. These treatments also...
Enzymes still comprise a major part of ethanol production costs from lignocellulose raw materials. Irreversible binding enzymes to the residual substrate prevents their reuse and no efficient methods for recycling have so far been presented. Cellulases without carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) found act efficiently at high consistencies remain non-bound after hydrolysis. High hydrolysis yields could be obtained with thermostable Thermoascus aurantiacus containing only two main cellulases:...
The methane yields and conversion of pentoses (xylose) hexoses (cellulose) in hemp, maize, white lupin were studied over 30 days anaerobic digestion. Preservation hemp increased the yield by 23% compared with fresh hemp. was verified enhanced C6 sugars, increasing from 48% to about 70%, whereas C5 sugars only 9% nearly 50%. consumption all carbohydrates maize almost complete Hence, there no major difference carbohydrate between preserved during biogas production. Fresh produced highest (343...
IntroductionAs the Earth's temperatures rise, biodiversity is plummeting, soil nutrients are being lost, and world population keeps growing. The need for fundamental changes in agri-food sector now seems undeniable. Technological advancement has often been touted as a solution on road to sustainability, recent decades conversation enriched by
