This study presents a life-cycle analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester) and renewable diesel (RD, or hydroprocessed easters fatty acids) production from oilseed crops, distillers corn oil, used cooking tallow. Updated data for biofuel waste fat rendering were collected through industry surveys. Life-cycle GHG reductions producing RD soybean, canola, carinata oils range 40% to 69% after considering land-use change estimations, compared with petroleum...
Abstract Sugar derived from lignocellulosic biomass is an important intermediate product, often used for the production of biofuels and value‐added chemicals. It therefore essential to understand reduce costs sugar biomass. This study evaluates economic feasibility a biorefinery producing using combination autohydrolysis mechanical refining pretreatment. self‐sufficient in energy, excess electricity sale. The minimum selling price (MSSP) that achieves zero net present value $446/metric ton....
Carbon dioxide (CO2) supply is an important consideration for algae production systems, and using high-purity CO2 eliminates the need purification processes. This study assessed challenges opportunities inherent in waste to produce United States. The States' upper Midwest region rich from corn ethanol production. However, its climate not as favorable that on Gulf Coast. tradeoffs between these factors by comparing biofuel with without across two regions. Monthly cultivation was modeled open...
Wet waste feedstocks represent an important category of resources that could be utilized to produce biofuels. Diversion the wet from going through conventional management practices utilization as for energy production also benefits avoided cost and pollutant emissions disposal. This study investigates economic environmental implications producing bioblendstocks mixing controlled compression ignition engines two waste-to-fuel pathways: hydroprocessed esters fatty acids (HEFA) yellow grease...
The development of microalgal biorefineries, utilizing high-value coproducts, offers a strategy to lower production costs, while the use saline-tolerant species contributes reducing freshwater consumption. This study evaluates...
Abstract The goal of this paper is to evaluate the economic performance co‐located corn grain ethanol (Gen 1) and cellulosic 2) facilities. We present six scenarios impact stover‐to‐grain mass ( SGM ) ratios on overall minimum selling price MESP ). For Gen 1 plant, $3.18/ gasoline gallon equivalent GGE while for 2 plant it $5.64/ . Co‐located plants operating at lowest ratio 0.4 generates $3.73/ as well highest $7.85/ 1.0 achieve $3.94/ $5.47/ Sensitivity analysis shows that prices...
Blending biomass feedstock is a promising approach to mitigate supply chain risks that are common challenges for large‐scale utilization. Understanding the potential environmental benefits of biofuels produced from blended and identifying driving parameters critical design. Herein, cradle‐to‐gate life cycle analysis model fast pyrolysis biorefineries converting feedstocks (pine residues switchgrass) with traditional centralized alternative decentralized preprocessing sites, so‐called depots,...
Abstract Dried distillers grains with solubles ( DDGS ) are potential feedstocks for the production of hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals from catalytic pyrolysis. This study evaluates economic feasibility a 2000‐metric‐ton‐corn‐per‐day integrated biorefinery an add‐on facility processing corn to hydrocarbons. In addition ethanol, would produce wide range hydrocarbons, including aromatics, olefins, synthetic gasoline diesel. The products command substantially higher market value than that...
Economic and environmental favorability are vital considerations for the large-scale development deployment of sustainable fuels. Here, we have conducted economic sustainability analyses pathways producing bioblendstocks optimized improved combustion mixing-controlled compression ignition (MCCI) engines. We assessed 25 production target fuels from renewable feedstocks techno-economic analysis (TEA) life cycle (LCA) to determine which bioblendstock candidates likely be viable given a slate 19...
Life-cycle analysis is essential to assessing the greenhouse gas impacts and decarbonization potential of transportation fuels vehicle powertrains.
Non-recyclable municipal solid waste (MSW) can be used as feedstock for liquid fuel production via gasification followed by Fischer-Tropsch (FT) processes. Given the heterogeneity of MSW material composition and variation in properties, its convertibility to hydrocarbon fuels could vary widely, affecting sustainability utilizing non-recyclable production. This study evaluates life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (carbon intensities [CIs]) FT from MSW. Key issues that greatly affect CIs...
