Optimal use of biomass in large-scale energy systems: insights for energy policy

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Emanuela Peduzzi, Victor Codina Gironès

Biomass chemical conversion processes allow the production of solid, liquid and gaseous biofuels, which can substitute almost any kind of fossil fuel and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this potential, high investment costs and conversion ...

Extraction of carotenoids from Chlorella vulgaris using green solvents and syngas production from residual biomass

Christian Ludwig, Christof Holliger, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Shivom Sharma

A combined process for carotenoids extraction and efficient bioenergy recovery from the wet microalgae biomass is proposed. High added-value products could thus be extracted prior a hydrothermal gasification of the algal biomass into synthetic natural gas. ...
