  2. 1. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in Nepal

    Author : Dilip Khatiwada; Semida Silveira; Andrew Martin; Björn Karlsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioethanol; sustainability; life cycle assessment; net energy values; greenhouse gas GHG balances; sustainable development; least developed countries LDCs ; Nepal; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik; Climatology; Klimatologi;

    Abstract : Access to modern energy services derived from renewable sources is a prerequisite, not only for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development, but also for energy security and climate change mitigation. The least developed countries (LDCs) primarily use traditional biomass and have little access to commercial energy sources. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Development of Bioethanol Markets under Sustainability Requirements

    Author : Henrique Pacini; Semida Silveira; Thomas Koberger; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioethanol; Biofuels; Consumer choice; Sustainability Criteria; International Trade; European Union; Brazil; Sweden; Policy.; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis is a theoretical and empirical examination of the developmentof bioethanol markets since 2005 when sustainability regulations forbiofuels were introduced globally. The experiences of Brazil and Sweden,and the influence of European regulations on the development ofbioethanol markets receive special attention. READ MORE

  5. 3. Integrated starch and lignocellulose based biorefineries : Synergies and opportunities

    Author : Michael Persson; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Process integration; Fermentation; Hydrolysis; Lignocellulosic Biomass; Wheat grain; Bioethanol;

    Abstract : The transition from a reliance on fossil resources to the use of renewables for the production of energy, fuels and chemicals is essential for ensuring the sustainability of continued human development. Plant-based biomass is a renewable resource which can be transformed into all of these products. READ MORE

  6. 4. Immersed flat-sheet membrane bioreactors for lignocellulosic bioethanol production

    Author : Amir Mahboubi; Huu Hao Ngo; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lignocellulosic bioethanol; immersed membrane bioreactor; membrane fouling; reverse membrane bioreactor; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : The rising awareness of the environmental, economic and socio-political impacts of over-exploitation of fossil-based fuel and energy sources, have motivated the transition toward more sustainable and renewable energy sources. Lignocellulosic materials (e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. Waste Textiles Bioprocessing to Ethanol and Biogas

    Author : Azam Jeihanipour; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioethanol; biogas; biorefinery; cellulose recalcitrance; cotton-based cellulose; enzymatic hydrolysis; pretreatment; recycling; waste textile; Resursåtervinning; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : The work of the present thesis focused on conversion of the cellulosic part of waste textiles into biogas and ethanol, and its challenges. In 2009, the global annual fiber consumption exceeded 70 Mt, of which around 40% consisted of cellulosic material. READ MORE
