Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass represents a promising pathway towards a sustainable energy future. Lignocellulosic biomass—comprising cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—provides ...
With the introduction of a single bacterial gene into yeast, researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands achieved three improvements in bioethanol production from agricultural ...
Most of the corn grown in the US has been improved using biotechnology to provide protection from insect damage and/or herbicide tolerance. The insect resistance trait has the additional benefit of ...
New technique to monitor contamination in bioethanol production could increase revenue in more than $1.6 billion USD and reduce CO2 emissions by 2 million tons. For the first time ever, researchers at ...
With the introduction of a single bacterial gene into yeast, researchers have achieved three improvements in bioethanol production from agricultural waste material: 'More ethanol, less acetate and ...
A porous metal-organic framework sorbent could boost the efficiency of ethanol production from cellulosic biomass by trapping compounds that inhibit fermentation, according to a study (Chem. Commun.
A collaborative research effort has revealed a new strategy to allow cellulose in rice straw to release its fermentable sugar more efficiently. Straw is commonly used for feeding animals, burning, ...
