Utilisation of waste in integrated sugar distillery industry with special reference to bio-energy generation: a case study
Sugar and distillery industries, though being agro-based industries, still have potential towards contribution of a large number of pollutants. Sugar industry generates molasses, bagasse and press mud apart from emission to the atmosphere. Press mud and bagasse are the two major types of solid waste requiring special attention. But, as a matter of fact if sugar and distillery industry is operated ...

Liquid fuels from woody biomass
Although challenges like global climate change and oil depletion will increasingly drive fuel selection, increasing bioenergy use is only one of many possible responses to these problems. Present biomass liquid fuels are almost all derived from food crops, but their potential for further expansion is limited. Any major expansion of biomass liquid fuels will require use of the more abundant ...

The second–generation ethanol in the state of São Paulo - Brazil: understanding the stakeholders' point of view
This article aims at conducting a study on the productive sector of ethanol in Brazil, specifically regarding second–generation ethanol. To map the industry the technique of stakeholder analysis was used. The primary data were collected through semi structured interviews and questionnaires with ten experts from different stakeholder groups in the industry. The results showed that the ethanol ...

Interview with Adam Penque, Lockheed Martin Energy
Tell us more about how and why Lockheed Martin Energy is building its position in the Waste to Energy sector. As the world population swells to more than seven billion and counting, the need for sustainable waste disposal and clean energy generation is growing with it. Lockheed Martin’s bioenergy power generation systems have the potential to solve both challenges At its core, the energy ...

Integrated appraisal of renewable energy strategies: a CGE analysis
The preparation, implementation, coordination and verification of policy measures is a complex and difficult process. This paper presents the first results of an empirical ex-ante analysis which evaluates the effects of renewable energy policies on the Polish bioenergy sector applying an Applied General Equilibrium model. The empirical results suggest that the Polish bioenergy sector benefits ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of surplus yeast and wastewater to increase energy recovery in breweries
Surplus yeast is a residue produced during brewery process, which presents high contents of organic matter. Biogas production from yeast could significantly contribute to bioenergy production in breweries, via biogas generation. Co-digestion of surplus yeast and brewery wastewater in a single treatment step would simplify the technical and economical requirements for the transformation of both ...

Productivity and nutrient dynamics in bioenergy double-cropping systems
Double-crop systems have the potential to generate additional feedstocks for bioenergy and livestock utilization, and also to reduce NO3–N leaching relative to sole-crop systems. Field studies were conducted near Ames, IA, during 2005–2007 to evaluate productivity and crop and soil nutrient dynamics in three prototypical bioenergy double-crop systems, and in a conventionally managed sole-crop ...

Biogas: a necessary solution to foster EU’s energy transition
Achieving EU ambitious target of 55% CO2 emission reductions by 2030 will require fundamental changes to the energy sector. It is of paramount importance to promote all sustainable fuels and their infrastructure. Biogas is a flexible and reliable renewable energy carrier, an enabler of significant CO2 emissions reductions and carbon removals. On June 11, Bioenergy Europe released its 2021 ...
