“…A linear programming model used to optimize the profitability and to determine an optimized planning process for biorefineries has been described [18]. The raw materials are wheat (straw and grain) and rape, and therefore this would be a model for a "wholecrop biorefinery" and hardly applicable for a "green biorefinery".…”

The development of biorefineries is the key for access to an integrated production of food, feed, chemicals, materials, goods, fuels and energy of the future. This communication considers an integrated green biorefinery combined with today's production of feed in the green agriculture. Special attention is given to the combination of physical and biotechnological processes for the production of proteins as well as platform chemicals such as lactic acid and lysine. Mass and energy flows (steam and electricity) are given for the biorefining of green biomass to produce platform chemicals, proteins, feed and biogas from residues.

“…Afterwards, the lysine hydrochloride is dried to a DM = 90% with an energy amount of 49 000 kWh/a [18]. The energy consumption of 620 t lysine hydrochloride using this method results in 296 000 kWh/a (see Tab.…”

“…Feedstock location is limited to 50 mile radius for the economic operation of a biorefinery that processes 2000 tons biomass/day ( Figure 5(a) ). Since biomass has a low bulk density and should not be stored at facilities with high moisture content [ 70 , 71 ], it is more logical to process the biomass (size reduction, pretreatment, and densification) near the field and store them [ 72 , 73 ] in a decentralized processing facility. Densified biomass with less than 10% moisture will be stable for several months and requires a smaller foot print for storage.…”

Current Challenges in Commercially Producing Biofuels from Lignocellulosic Biomass

2014

Biofuels that are produced from biobased materials are a good alternative to petroleum based fuels. They offer several benefits to society and the environment. Producing second generation biofuels is even more challenging than producing first generation biofuels due the complexity of the biomass and issues related to producing, harvesting, and transporting less dense biomass to centralized biorefineries. In addition to this logistic challenge, other challenges with respect to processing steps in converting biomass to liquid transportation fuel like pretreatment, hydrolysis, microbial fermentation, and fuel separation still exist and are discussed in this review. The possible coproducts that could be produced in the biorefinery and their importance to reduce the processing cost of biofuel are discussed. About $1 billion was spent in the year 2012 by the government agencies in US to meet the mandate to replace 30% existing liquid transportation fuels by 2022 which is 36 billion gallons/year. Other countries in the world have set their own targets to replace petroleum fuel by biofuels. Because of the challenges listed in this review and lack of government policies to create the demand for biofuels, it may take more time for the lignocellulosic biofuels to hit the market place than previously projected.

“…The following discussions will attempt to briefly capture some of the main concepts of using biological materials in manufacturing, but will not be completely exhaustive. More comprehensive treatments can be found in [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11], to which the reader is referred for more information.…”
