Biochemical Refining of Lignocellulose for Biofuels: Status and Prospects (Presentation): National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

Research output: NRELPresentation

Abstract

Presentation describes progress to develop and demonstrate cost-competitive biochemical refining technologies, including recent progress at NREL to reduce the cost of converting cellulosic biomass to ethanol and new initiatives to convert biomass derived sugars to other advanced biofuels. The potential for process intensification to reduce capital equipment and process operating costs isillustrated. Remaining technical barriers and as-yet unrealized opportunities to stimulate biorefinery commercialization are discussed.
