21. Towards More Robust Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains for Lignocellulosic Bioethanol Production: Lessons from process concepts and physiological investigations
Abstract : Dwindling oil reserves and the negative impacts of fossil fuels on the environment call for more sustainable energy sources. First-generation bioethanol produced from sugar cane and corn has met some of these needs, but it competes with the food supply for raw materials. READ MORE

22. LIGNIN HYDROTHERMAL LIQUEFACTION IN SUBCRITICAL WATER TO PRODUCE BIOFUEL AND CHEMICALS
Abstract : Lignin is one of the most abundant amorphous macromolecules found in nature. Along with cellulose and hemicellulose, it forms a main component of biomass, and is mainly responsible for providing strength, rigidity and resistance to degradation. From a chemistry perspective, lignin is an important source of aromatics. READ MORE

23. Operational strategies to control the gas composition in dual fluidized bed biomass gasifiers
Abstract : Steam gasification of biomass can increase the share of renewable energy and material resources in the energy sector, transportation and different industries. Prior its application, the raw gas produced in biomass gasifiers needs to be cleaned from impurities. READ MORE

24. Strategies for controlling solid biomass conversion in dual fluidized bed gasifiers
Abstract : In the chemical industry, Synthesis Gas (syngas) has been traditionally produced by steam reforming of natural gas and naphtha. Steam gasification of biomass offers an alternative route for the production of syngas from renewable sources. READ MORE

25. Evaluation of precursor and cofactor engineering strategies influencing fatty acid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : If humanity is to reduce the rate of climate change, it is essential that our societies switch to a more sustainable production of fuels and chemicals, which in turn depends on technological development. Oleochemical production via microbial catalysts – such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae – can use a considerably broader range of renewable substrates compared to the conventional production processes.
