Título: | Bioethanol production potential from brazilian biodiesel co-products |
Autor(es): | Visser, Evan Michael Oliveira Filho, Delly Martins, Marcio Arêdes Steward, Brian L. |
Abstract: | One major problem facing the commercial production of cellulosic ethanol is the challenge of economically harvesting and transporting sufficient amounts of biomass as a feedstock at biorefinery plant scales. Oil extraction for biodiesel production, however, yields large quantities of biomass co-products rich in cellulose, sugar and starch, which in many cases may be sufficient to produce enough ethanol to meet the alcohol demands of the transesterification process. Soybean, castor bean, Jatropha curcas, palm kernel, sunflower and cottonseed were studied to determine ethanol production potential from cellulose found in the oil extraction co-products and also their capacity to meet transesterification alcohol demands. All crops studied were capable of producing enough ethanol for biodiesel production and, in the case of cottonseed, 470% of the transesterification demand could be met with cellulosic ethanol production from oil extraction co-products. Based on Brazilian yields of the crops studied, palm biomass has the highest potential ethanol yield of 108 m^3 km^−2 followed by J. curcas with 40 m^3 km^−2. A total of 3.5 hm^3 could be produced from Brazilian soybean oil extraction co-products. |
