Based on the IBUS process, Inbicon has built an advanced biorefinery at the port of Kalundborg in Denmark. In this biorefinery Danish wheat straw is converted to second generation (2G) ethanol, lignin pellets and C5 molasses. It is a demonstration plant working 24 h 7 days a week. In this way it is working as a commercial plant, but the size of the plant is not large enough to carry out a feasible production. It is possible to run as a commercial plant as the Danish Energy Agency has granted the design and construction phase and the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme for Energy Research (FP7) has granted the commissioning and first three years of operation. By the end of 2010 the demonstration plant has been totally commissioned and has gone into production phase. The first 2G ethanol has been sold to Statoil and is now distributed in 100 filling stations all over Denmark as Bio95 2G petrol. Lignin pellets are sold to DONG Energy and used as a high-quality solid biofuel in power plants. The CS molasses is sold as biogas booster in local biogas plants. The demonstration plant has proved continuous operation from straw bales to fermentation and the expected yield of 2G ethanol (>198 L t(-1) dry straw). The process is developed, the products are on the market, lignocellulosic ethanol is reality - but in the same way as for almost any other new energy technologies, further policy and market incentives are still needed before investors will construct the first full scale commercial plants.

Gasification kinetics of chars from diverse residues under suitable conditions for the Sorption Enhanced Gasification process

G. Grasa, I. Martinez, R. Murillo

Summary: Gasification kinetics of six chars from residual origin were studied under relatively low temperature, low CO2, and high H2O partial pressures. The Random Pore Model (RPM) showed the best fit to experimental results, but the selection of the reaction model depended on the ash composition, specifically the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metals. Chars with ash content higher than 30% wt. were modeled with the RPM model, while chars with the highest K/Si ratio required modified versions of the RPM to accurately predict reaction rates. Textural properties played a key role in determining reaction parameters, such as the pre-exponential factor and activation energy, for chars with similar ash content and composition.

Review Agricultural Engineering

A review on emerging technologies and machine learning approaches for sustainable production of biofuel from biomass waste

V. Godvin Sharmila, Surya Prakash Shanmugavel, J. Rajesh Banu

Summary: Proper treatment and disposal of biomass waste is crucial to prevent environmental deposition and its negative impacts. Biofuel has emerged as a potential alternative to fossil fuels, reducing carbon emissions and meeting global energy demands. This review examines different biomass waste conversion techniques and explores the production of biofuels with zero carbon emissions. Research on anaerobic treatment, metabolic engineering, and artificial intelligence has been conducted to enhance biofuel production efficiency.

Influencing factors and environmental feasibility analysis of agricultural waste preprocessing routes towards biofuel production - A review

Selvakumar Periyasamy, Adane Asefa Adego, P. Senthil Kumar, G. G. Desta, T. Zelalem, V. Karthik, J. Beula Isabel, Mani Jayakumar, Venkatesa Prabhu Sundramurthy, Gayathri Rangasamy

Summary: Valorizing agricultural waste into valuable products is crucial for environmental protection and bioeconomy advancement. Preprocessing of agricultural waste is a critical step to convert free carbohydrate molecules for final conversion, and factors such as biomass nature, feed loading, pH, temperature, and time influence the process. This review provides comprehensive information on agricultural waste availability, preprocessing techniques, and factors influencing performance.

A comprehensive machine learning-coupled response surface methodology approach for predictive modeling and optimization of biogas potential in anaerobic Co-digestion of organic waste

Aqueel Ahmad, Ashok Kumar Yadav, Achhaibar Singh, Dinesh Kumar Singh

Summary: The study focuses on predicting and optimizing the yield of biogas production in an anaerobic digester using co-digestion. Experimental data was used to develop a machine learning-based prognostic model, and the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the parameters. The results demonstrate that RSM coupled with machine learning is an effective technique for modeling, predicting, and optimizing biogas production yield.

Unraveling the thermal decomposition and conversion mechanisms of silica aerogel-infused cork cells

Yijing Zhong, Wenxiang Zhai, Xinli Wei

Summary: This paper studies the thermal stability and decomposition of cork materials with and without silica aerogel filler. The results show that the decomposition is inhibited and the pyrolysis is significantly reduced with the addition of silica aerogel. This finding suggests that silica aerogel-infused cork may be a promising raw material for biofuel production with reduced environmental pollution.
