Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol : experimental, enzymatic hydrolysis modeling, techno-economic and life cycle assessment studies

Creator:

Kumar, Deepak

Abstract:

Ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstock has been under intense scrutiny as a transportation fuel due to its potential to address concerns of increasing energy consumption, limited fossil energy resources, climate changes due to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, and especially use of non-food biomaterials, which address the biggest limitation...

Hemicellulose utilization by yeast for ethanol production- adaptation, effect of inhibitors and a flux balance based analysis

Creator:

Avanasi Narasimhan, Ragothaman

Abstract:

A major challenge in ethanol production using lignocellulosic feed stock is inefficient utilization of hemicellulose, which accounts for 30-40% of lignocellulosic biomass. Xylose, comprising >60% of recoverable sugars from hemicellulose is a major product of the hemicellulose hydrolysis. Utilization of this carbon source would significantly increase the ethanol yield from...
