Ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstocks (also known as 2nd generation or 2G ethanol process) presents a great potential for reducing both costs and climate change impacts since agricultural residues dedicated energy crops are used feedstock. This study aimed at the quantification of economic environmental considering current future scenarios sugarcane biorefineries taking into account not only improvements industrial process but also biomass systems. Technology assumptions setup...
Mechanized sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) harvest without burning has been increasingly adopted in Brazil, increasing trash availability on the field. This study aims at showing importance of using an integrated framework tool to assess technical and economic impacts integral harvesting baling recovery strategies different rates as well its implications production, transport processing stages. Trash system presents higher costs per unit mass recovered comparison which is harvested transported...
Abstract Mechanization in the sugarcane agriculture has increased over last few years, especially harvesting and planting operations, Brazilian Center‐South region. The consequences of such a technological shift, however, are not fully comprehended when multiple perspectives considered as economic aspects, environmental regulations, social context. main goal this study is to generate comprehensive information subsidize decision‐making processes only Brazil but also other countries where...
Abstract Economic and environmental impacts of ethanol biorefineries with different sugarcane ( Saccharum spp.) production technologies are evaluated a focus on harvesting systems, reduced tillage, controlled traffic farming to reduce soil compaction, alternatives rotation. Results showed that scenarios sunn hemp Crotolaria juncea ) as rotation crop in the cycle present great potential decrease biorefineries. Although tillage promotes reduction costs comparison conventional it only cause...
Large-scale deployment of both biochemical and thermochemical routes for advanced biofuels production is seen as a key climate change mitigation option. This study addresses techno-economic environmental aspects liquid alternatives via biomass gasification Fischer–Tropsch synthesis integrated to typical sugarcane distillery. The route comprises the conversion residual lignocellulosic fraction conventional (bagasse straw), together with eucalyptus energy-cane emerging options. work promotes...
Approximately 7% of Brazilian electricity is generated from sugarcane biomass. Although this scenario relatively optimistic when compared to the fossil-based energy matrix other nations, there a clear opportunity expanding bioelectricity production in country even more. Recent changes environmental legislation are progressively prohibiting burning before harvesting Center-South region. Consequently, straw (i.e., tops, dry and green leaves) has become available most fields. When considering...
Technoeconomic and life-cycle analyses are presented for catalytic conversion of ethanol to fungible hydrocarbon fuel blendstocks, informed by advances in catalyst process development. Whereas prior work toward this end focused on 3-step processes featuring dehydration, oligomerization, hydrogenation, the consolidated alcohol dehydration oligomerization (CADO) approach described here results 1-step wet vapor (40 wt% water) hydrocarbons water over a metal-modified zeolite catalyst. A...
