   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

4. 2. 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

5. 3. Waste Textiles Bioprocessing to Ethanol and Biogas

   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

6. 4. Lignocellulosic Ethanol Production Potential and Regional Transportation Fuel Demand

   Author : Lilia Daianova; Jinyue Yan; Louise Trygg; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : Agricultural by-products; Straw; Bioethanol; Transport system; Greenhouse gases GHG ; Polygeneration system; Combined Heat and Power CHP ; Mixed Integer Programming MIP .; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : Road traffic dominates in domestic Swedish transportation and is highly dependent on fossil fuels, petrol and diesel. Currently, the use of renewable fuels in transportation accounts for less than 6% of the total energy use in transport. READ MORE

7. 5. Cellular Processes and Mechanisms in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Influencing Anaerobic Xylose Fermentation

   Author : Basti Bergdahl; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Bioethanol; Xylose metabolism; Metabolomics; Regulation; Protein folding; Microbial growth;

   Abstract : In 2009 the EU approved two directives as a first initiative towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and becoming independent of fossil fuels: the Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel Quality Directive. As a result, the demand for biofuels will increase enormously over the next decade, both nationally and in the entire EU. READ MORE
