2,3-Butanediol (BDO) is a versatile platform chemical with great potential as the precursor for various valueadded derivatives across different industrial sectors. This work thus presents a techno-economic feasibility study for microbial BDO production from C 5 and C 6 sugars derived from brewers' spent grain (BSG). Water-soluble carbohydrates obtained from pretreatment were further utilized for the biogas generation. Besides, the solid residue generated after fermentation and biogas were used to generate high-pressure steam and electricity. The process integration was carried out using pinch technology for various BDO titers and plant capacities. The pinch analysis helped in the reduction of hot and cold utility consumption by about 34 and 18%, respectively. The minimum hot and cold utility consumption was 4.59 and 10.97 MW for 100 MT BSG per day with 100 g/L BDO titer, respectively. The cooling water consumption was decreased, and electricity generation was increased with the increase in BDO titer, while the BDO production cost reduced marginally.

“…The cost to manufacture butanol from cooked rice is $1.24 per kilogram (Kg), as determined by the techno-chemical analysis of butanol [77]. Costs for liquid-liquid extraction and distillation of butanol from corn biomass, lignocellulose, and sugarcane were 0.74 dollars, 1.19 dollars, and 1.59 dollars per kg, respectively [78]. ABE fermentation utilizing maize as the feedstock is used to produce butanol commercially at the Jilin Cathy industries in China for a cost of $2000 USD per ton, or roughly 70% of the whole cost.…”

The production of biofuels through biological processes has garnered increasing attention due to their potential benefits over conventional fuels, including lower greenhouse gas emissions, higher energy output, and reduced-price fluctuations. However, the metabolic processes of primitive microorganisms used in biofuel production are not compatible with those of fossil fuels. To address this, scholars have employed metabolic engineering techniques to modify the metabolisms of various microorganisms, including S. cerevisiae, for enhanced biofuel production. Specifically, overexpression of enzymes involved in bioethanol and biobutanol production, knockouts of competing pathways, improvements in carbon flux and tolerance have been applied to maximize the potential of S. cerevisiae for bioethanol and biobutanol production. This review focuses on the current state of metabolic engineering of S. cerevisiae for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulose and biobutanol from all kind of substrates, along with the potential use of cell surface technology in this field.

“…As an example, no cost can be attributed to food waste, the current price of pulp‐grade wood can be estimated at 43–54 US$/ton of fermentable sugars (i.e., cellulose and hemicellulose) while sugar costs about 460 US$/ton (Gharehkhani et al, 2015 ; International Sugar Organization, 2019 ; Nuss & Gardner, 2013 ; Qureshi et al, 2020 ). Recent techno‐economic analyses estimated the minimal selling price for butanol produced from the fermentation of corn, sugarcane, food/municipal waste, and lignocellulosic biomass at 2.50, 2.05, 0.42–0.75, and 1.32–1.78 US$/kg, respectively (Ashani et al, 2020 ; Karimi Alavijeh & Karimi, 2019 ; Mailaram & Maity, 2022 ; Qureshi et al, 2020 ). These values may be largely affected by fluctuations in feedstock price, process configuration, plant capacity, and location.…”

In the last decades, fermentative production of n‐butanol has regained substantial interest mainly owing to its use as drop‐in‐fuel. The use of lignocellulose as an alternative to traditional acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation feedstocks (starchy biomass and molasses) can significantly increase the economic competitiveness of biobutanol over production from non‐renewable sources (petroleum). However, the low cost of lignocellulose is offset by its high recalcitrance to biodegradation which generally requires chemical‐physical pre‐treatment and multiple bioreactor‐based processes. The development of consolidated processing (i.e., single‐pot fermentation) can dramatically reduce lignocellulose fermentation costs and promote its industrial application. Here, strategies for developing microbial strains and consortia that feature both efficient (hemi)cellulose depolymerization and butanol production will be depicted, that is, rational metabolic engineering of native (hemi)cellulolytic or native butanol‐producing or other suitable microorganisms; protoplast fusion of (hemi)cellulolytic and butanol‐producing strains; and co‐culture of (hemi)cellulolytic and butanol‐producing microbes. Irrespective of the fermentation feedstock, biobutanol production is inherently limited by the severe toxicity of this solvent that challenges process economic viability. Hence, an overview of strategies for developing butanol hypertolerant strains will be provided.
