“…Moreover, the Cu supported catalyst shows high stability, high activity with small amount of undesired products formation in the condition having large amount of CO 2 in feed. The Cu site is able to increase the catalytic performance under atmospheric pressure at low temperature for RWGS reaction (Elsernagawy et al, 2020). This is because CO 2 in feed can adsorb on the surface under oxidation and reduction of the Cu supported catalysts (Elsernagawy et al, 2020;Okemoto et al, 2020).…”

“…The Cu site is able to increase the catalytic performance under atmospheric pressure at low temperature for RWGS reaction (Elsernagawy et al, 2020). This is because CO 2 in feed can adsorb on the surface under oxidation and reduction of the Cu supported catalysts (Elsernagawy et al, 2020;Okemoto et al, 2020). Hence, it can be suggested that Cu supported catalyst (Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 ) exhibits good performance for the RWGS reaction at a lower temperature under atmospheric pressure.…”

Comparative study of Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 (CZA) catalysts with different Cu loading in CO and CO 2 hydrogenation at 250 C under atmospheric pressure was investigated. Results showed that methanol was the major product for CO hydrogenation, while the main product for CO 2 hydrogenation was CO. High Cu loading catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity in both CO and CO 2 hydrogenation. Low Cu loading catalyst showed deactivation with time on stream after 1-2 h by coke formation containing both amorphous and graphitic cokes for both CO and CO 2 hydrogenation.

“…The produced heat can be recycled back to the ethanol plant to offset the natural gas requirement. In addition of this, the biogas could also be used for (1) the production of synthetic methane via CO 2 methanation reaction [73,74]; (2) the production of renewable hydrogen via bi-reforming [75] followed by water-gas shift reaction [49,76]; and (3) biofuel production via reverse water-gas shift reaction [77] followed by fuel synthesis[48, 78], depending on the need of market and the scale of plant.…”

The global initiative to find alternative fuel sources to fossil fuels is an ongoing process. As such, bioethanol is used as a fuel blend with petrol. However, large number of solid wastes is produced from ethanol plants sourcing from grain and inedible plant wastes, for example, WDGS (wet distiller’s grain with soluble) and DDGS (dry distiller’s grain with soluble) produced from ethanol plants using corn. This study investigates alternative methods for using these co-products through combustion and anaerobic digestion. Process simulation and economic analysis were conducted using current market prices to evaluate the viability of the processes. Products in the form of energy are produced. Optimization of the corn ethanol plant was also explored for re-using the heat and electricity produced in those processes. The profits of combustion and anaerobic digestion were compared. It was found that these processes will supply more viable options to simply selling the grain as feed for livestock. The anaerobic digestion of WDGS to produce electricity scenario was found to have the biggest profit among the four scenarios which can bring the annual income of 14.1 million Australian dollar to the ethanol plant. An environmental analysis of the CO2 emissions was also conducted. Using the Australian state emission factor, the amount of CO2 offset through both combustion and anaerobic digestion can be seen. The anaerobic digestion of WDGS to supply heat to the plant was proved having the largest CO2 abatement with the value of 0.58 kg-CO2e/L-EtOH.
