2. 1. Anaerobic digestion of horse manure : renewable energy and plant nutrients in a systems perspective

   Author : Åsa Hadin; Ola Eriksson; Karl Hillman; Nils Ryrholm; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Horse manure; horse keeping; anaerobic digestion; nutrient recycling; systems perspective; bedding; methane potential; feedstock; biogas; biofertilizer; Hästgödsel; hästhållning; rötning; näringsåterföring; systemperspektiv; strömaterial; metanpotential; biogassubstrat; biogas; biogödsel;

   Abstract : In horse keeping horse manure is produced, which can be utilized as a fertilizer or considered a waste. Horse manure constitutes a resource in terms of both plant nutrients and energy. In addition energy policies and objectives aim at replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. READ MORE

4. 2. Implications of feedstock diversity on forest-based ethanol production

   Author : Balazs Franko; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ethanol; Lignocellulose; Softwood; Spruce; Bark; Forest residues; Steam pretreatment; Enzymatic hydrolysis;

   Abstract : The utilization of lignocellulosic biomass to produce biofuels, such as bioethanol, has the potential to provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and thus mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.Forest biomass is expected to be a significant source of such biomass, as it can serve as an abundant and sustainable feedstock for bioethanol production.

   Abstract : Forestry and forest industry sectors have vital roles in the economy, both on a national and regional level. Due to the significant role of these sectors on the economic system, it is important to understand how competition issues impact market outcomes. READ MORE

7. 5. Salix as a biorefinery feedstock : an inquiry into factors affecting conversion performance

   Author : Jonas Ohlsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the world’s greatest natural resources, with po-tential for replacing a considerable portion of current fossil resource use. Although lignocellulosic biomass can be readily utilized for generating heat and power via combustion, its conversion into storable fuels such as ethanol and biogas presents a greater challenge.
