  • regional variations in greenhouse gas emissions of Biobased Products in the united states corn based ethanol and soybean oil
    International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2009
    Co-Authors: Bruce E Dale
    Abstract:

    Background, aim, and scope Regional variations in the environmental impacts of plant biomass production are significant, and the environmental impacts associated with feedstock supply also contribute substantially to the environmental performance of Biobased Products. Thus, the regional variations in the environmental performance of Biobased Products are also significant. This study scrutinizes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with two Biobased Products (i.e., ethanol and soybean oil) whose feedstocks (i.e., corn and soybean) are produced in different farming locations.

  • cumulative energy and global warming impact from the production of biomass for Biobased Products
    Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2003
    Co-Authors: Bruce E Dale
    Abstract:

    Summary The cumulative energy and global warming impacts associated with producing corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and switchgrass and transporting these crops to a central crop processing facility (called a “biorefinery”) are estimated. The agricultural inputs for each crop are collected from seven states in the United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The cumulative energy requirement for producing and transporting these crops is 1.99 to 2.66 megajoules/kilo-gram (MJ/kg) for corn, 1.98 to 2.04 MJ/kg for soybeans, 1.24 MJ/kg for alfalfa, and 0.97 to 1.34 MJ/kg for switchgrass. The global warming impact associated with producing biomass is 246 to 286 grams (g) CO2 equivalent/kg for corn, 159 to 163gCO2 equivalent/kg for soybeans, 89 g CO2 equivalent/ kg for alfalfa, and 124 to 147 g CO2 equivalent/kg for switch-grass. The detailed agricultural data are used to assess previous controversies over the energy balance of bioethanol and, in light of the ongoing debates on this topic, provide a needed foundation for future life-cycle assessments.

  • Technology development for the production of Biobased Products from biorefinery carbohydrates—the US Department of Energy’s “Top 10” revisited
    Green Chemistry, 2010
    Co-Authors: Joseph J. Bozell, Gene R. Petersen
    Abstract:

    A biorefinery that supplements its manufacture of low value biofuels with high value Biobased chemicals can enable efforts to reduce nonrenewable fuel consumption while simultaneously providing the necessary financial incentive to stimulate expansion of the biorefining industry. However, the choice of appropriate Products for addition to the biorefinery's portfolio is challenged by a lack of broad-based conversion technology coupled with a plethora of potential targets. In 2004, the US Department of Energy (DOE) addressed these challenges by describing a selection process for chemical Products that combined identification of a small group of compounds derived from biorefinery carbohydrates with the research and technology needs required for their production. The intent of the report was to catalyze research efforts to synthesize multiple members of this group, or, ideally, structures not yet on the list. In the six years since DOE's original report, considerable progress has been made in the use of carbohydrates as starting materials for chemical production. This review presents an updated evaluation of potential target structures using similar selection methodology, and an overview of the technology developments that led to the inclusion of a given compound. The list provides a dynamic guide to technology development that could realize commercial success through the proper integration of biofuels with Biobased Products.

  • toward the design of functional foods and Biobased Products by 3d printing a review
    Trends in Food Science and Technology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Stéphane Portanguen, Pascal Tournayre, Jason Sicard, Thierry Astruc, Pierre-sylvain Mirade
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background 3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) now provides enormous freedom to design, manufacture and innovate in various domains, even in foodstuffs development. Given the immense potential applications related to AM, many authors are even talking about a new industrial revolution. Scope and approach In this article, we review the state of the science in applied AM methods for developing Biobased Products in the medical and food sectors, with these two sectors having similar points. We were therefore interested in the technological locks encountered in the various studies carried out on the subject. Consideration has also been given to the possibility of using alternative sources of protein, such as animal by-Products, to address resource management and sustainable development issues. One of the strengths of 3D printing is personalization, so we chose to evaluate the impact of this technology on target populations and evaluate the possible evolutions. Key findings and conclusions In order to design food in optimal conditions, the development of new 3D printers is fundamental 1) to ensure the sanitary quality (both microbiological and chemical) of these Products, and 2) to control the structure and texture of these 3D-printed foods. From there, it will be possible to propose personalized foods, adapted to different categories of population (e.g. seniors or young people …). The major challenge in the next years will be to develop, using 3D printing, meat Products or Products blending alternative protein sources that remain perfectly structured without having to use additives. The final step will be to garner consumer acceptance for these 3D-printed foods.

    Toward the design of functional foods and Biobased Products by 3D printing: A review

  • toward the design of functional foods and Biobased Products by 3d printing
    2018
    Co-Authors: Stéphane Portanguen, Pascal Tournayre, Jason Sicard, Thierry Astruc, Pierre-sylvain Mirade
    Abstract:

    3D printing now provides enormous freedom to design, manufacture and innovate in a whole number of sector spaces, including medical and food sectors. Here, we analyze the applications developed on the back of these methods, targeting the impact these methods have on the design and production-line sustainability of the Biobased Products per se and on consumer acceptability of these 3D-printed Products. We also look at 3D-printed functional foods targeting different sectors of the population, and the development prospects for 3D-printed Biobased Products in the coming decade. 3D printing is a technology with a bright future. Providing custom-tailored turnkey nutritional solutions to populations that have thus far been excluded from certain markets due to their health conditions, deprived of regular access to food resources, or simply too short of buying power, represents a series of issues that can be overcome. The major challenge for the coming years will be to develop, using 3D printing, meat Products or Products blending alternative protein sources that remain perfectly structured without having to use additives. The final step will be to garner consumer acceptance for these 3D-printed foods.

  • High yielding tropical energy crops for bioenergy production: Effects of plant components, harvest years and locations on biomass composition.
    Bioresource Technology, 2017
    Co-Authors: K C Surendra, Richard Ogoshi, Halina M. Zaleski, Andrew G. Hashimoto, Samir Kumar Khanal
    Abstract:

    The composition of lignocellulosic feedstock, which depends on crop type, crop management, locations and plant parts, significantly affects the conversion efficiency of biomass into biofuels and Biobased Products. Thus, this study examined the composition of different parts of two high yielding tropical energy crops, Energycane and Napier grass, collected across three locations and years. Significantly higher fiber content was found in the leaves of Energycane than stems, while fiber content was significantly higher in the stems than the leaves of Napier grass. Similarly, fiber content was higher in Napier grass than Energycane. Due to significant differences in biomass composition between the plant parts within a crop type, neither biological conversion, including anaerobic digestion, nor thermochemical pretreatment alone is likely to efficiently convert biomass components into biofuels and Biobased Products. However, combination of anaerobic digestion with thermochemical conversion technologies could efficiently utilize biomass components in generating biofuels and Biobased Products.

  • anaerobic digestion based biorefinery for bioenergy and Biobased Products
    Industrial Biotechnology, 2015
    Co-Authors: K C Surendra, Shilva Shrestha, Chayanon Sawatdeenarunat, Shihwu Sung, Samir Kumar Khanal
    Abstract:

    Abstract Population growth and increasing affluence worldwide have resulted in a significant increase in energy and material consumption as well as waste generation. Currently, the main source of energy and materials is petroleum, which has serious implications for energy security and the environment (e.g., climate change). The efficient conversion of abundant renewable bioresources into bioenergy and Biobased Products has significant potential to contribute to meeting the ever-increasing demand for energy and Products. Anaerobic digestion (AD)-based biorefineries have great potential to serve as a technology for efficient conversion of a variety of low-value feedstocks, ranging from municipal and industrial organic wastes, to agricultural and forest residues, and energy crops, into high-value biofuels and Biobased Products with concurrent waste valorization.

A more comprehensive study supported by research and development, however, is crucial for developing an AD-based biorefinery system analogous with today's petroleum refineries. This review focuses on an AD-based biorefinery approach. It offers a critical analysis of recent advances in AD-based biorefineries for producing bioenergy and Biobased Products.

  • green processing of tropical banagrass into biofuel and Biobased Products an innovative biorefinery approach
    Bioresource Technology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Devin Takara, Samir Kumar Khanal
    Abstract:

    Abstract Banagrass (Pennisetum purpureum) approximately 4 months old was hand-harvested and shredded. Half of the sample was dewatered using a screw-press, whereby the extracted juice was used for cultivating an edible fungus, Rhizopus microsporus, for aquaculture feed supplementation. The remaining biomass was divided into four separate streams: (1) wet, juiced; (2) dry, juiced; (3) wet, unjuiced; and (4) dry, unjuiced. Each stream was pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid and compared on the basis of sugar release at varying acid concentrations, temperatures, and residence times. Wet, juiced banagrass released the most soluble sugars (theoretical xylose and ∼85% glucose). Ultrasonication (20 kHz) was applied to further increase monomeric sugar release but demonstrated little improvement on total sugar yields. Fungal biomass generated from banagrass juice exhibited potential as a fungal-protein production medium producing 1.16 ± 0.34 g biomass increase/g initial biomass.
