“…Biofuels are convenient, eco-friendly energy alternatives as countries seek to reduce fossil fuels, cut carbon emissions and push farm revenues higher (Esmaeili et al 2020 ). Bioethanol, an alcoholic biofuel used to power cars since the early twentieth century, is the fastest growing biofuel and currently constitutes about 10 percent of the fuel burned by motor vehicles (RFA 2020 ).…”

“…The second-generation process harnesses (cellulosic) biomass feedstocks to make bioethanol. This technology process is especially suitable for agriculture waste such as corn stover and energy crops like switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L. ) (Esmaeili et al 2020 ). Because second-generation bioethanol comes from lignocellulosic material, edible crops can be destined for fuel production.…”

“…On the environmental side, the RFS mandates production of 36 billion gallons of biofuels annually by 2022, of which 58 percent must come from advanced biofuels, such as cellulosic (second-generation) bioethanol, while only 15 billion gallons can be produced from food crops (first-generation) such as corn. At present, there are over 200 corn bioethanol plants in the U.S. that elaborate almost 15 billion gallons of corn-based bioethanol (Esmaeili et al 2020 ).…”

Carbon-Efficient Production Scheduling of a Bioethanol Plant Considering Diversified Feedstock Pelletization Density: A Case Study

This paper presents a dual-objective optimization model for production scheduling of bioethanol plant with carbon-efficient strategies. The model is developed throughout the bioethanol production process. Firstly, the production planning and scheduling of the bioethanol plant’s transportation, storage, pretreatment, and ethanol manufacturing are fully considered. Secondly, the carbon emissions in the ethanol manufacturing process are integrated into the model to form a dual-objective optimization model that simultaneously optimizes the production plan and carbon emissions. The effects of different biomass raw materials with optional pelletization density and pretreatment methods on production scheduling are analyzed. The influence of demand and pretreatment cost on selecting a pretreatment method and total profit is considered. A membership weighted method is developed to solve the dual-objective model. The carbon emission model and economic model are integrated into one model for analysis. An example is given to verify the effectiveness of the optimization model. At the end of the paper, the limitation of this study is discussed to provide directions for future research.

A report on the Pithecellobium dulce tree is provided in this review. The main characteristics of the tree, its chemical composition, traditional applications and future application in the bioenergy area are addressed. Pithecellobium dulce is a leguminous tree characterized by being fast growing, nitrogen fixing and largely available. In addition, it is distinguished by growing in different types of soils from acid to alkaline and with little water. This review could serve as a scientific basis to promote and carry out new research work focused on individual and comprehensive use for various bioenergetic processes, from the different parts that make up the P. dulce tree such as its leaves, pods, branches, flowers, fruit and seeds. Among the bioenergetic processes that could be developed are the production of bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, heterogeneous catalysts, biochar, activated carbon and nanoparticles, among other applications.
