The extraction of sugarcane juice is the first step of sugar production. The optimal values of process indicators and the set values of operating parameters in this process are still determined by workers’ experience, preventing adaptive adjust...
For significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, those from electricity generation should be negative by the end of the century. In this sense, bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology in sugarcane mills could be crucial. Thi...
Milling pretreatment is a crucial step in the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass such sugarcane bagasse because it facilitates access to cellulose for subsequent chemical treatments. However, most experiments have been conducted at the laborato...
Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world with an annual population growth rate of 1.3%. This growth is accompanied by an increase in sugar consumption, which is occurring at an annual rate of 4.3%. The huge demand for sugar has cre...
China is the world’s third-largest sugarcane producer. When mechanically harvested sugarcane enters the sugar mill, impurity rate detection is required. However, due to the piling up of sugarcane, significant errors may occur in the detection r...
Brazil has a large share of hydropower in its electricity matrix. Since hydropower depends on water availability, it is particularly vulnerable to drought events, making the Brazilian electricity matrix vulnerable to climate change. Starting in 2005,...
Sugarcane is the most promising among renewable biofuel-producing crops. An adequate availability of water and nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), is of utmost importance. From the hypothesis that the source and the rate of N fertilization influence...
The present study compiles a life cycle inventory for Ecuadorian sugarcane-derived ethanol production to quantify its environmental performance and identify the life cycle stages that cause major impacts. The scope of this study encompasses a cradle-...
In this paper, a biorefinery complex in Thailand was assessed vis-à-vis sustainability. The complex studied includes plantations of sugarcane and a biorefinery system composed of several units including, a sugar mill, power plant, ethanol factory and...
In-field quality prediction in agricultural products is mainly based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR). However, initiatives applied to sugarcane quality are only observed under laboratory-controlled conditions. This study proposed a framework for...
The cellulolytic system of Clostridium cellulovorans mainly consisting of a cellulosome that synergistically collaborates with non-complexed enzymes was investigated using cellulosic biomass. The cellulosomes were isolated from the culture supernatan...
Newly released sugarcane varieties need to be adapted to various environments. This research was aimed at examining the growth and yield potential of newly released varieties of sugarcane in the first year as plant cane (PC) and the second year as fi...
The world’s energy demand increases daily, fostering the search for renewable fuels to reconcile production needs with environmental sustainability. To prevent the severe atmospheric impact of fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is...
The study explores γ-valerolactone (GVL) pulps as a sustainable approach to producing microfibrillated (MFC) and nanofibrillated (NFC) cellulose from sugarcane bagasse, a widely available agro-industrial by-product. Pulp was obtained by acid-ca...
The decarbonization of energy matrices is crucial to limit global warming below 2 °C this century. An alternative capable of enabling zero or even negative CO2 emissions is bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). In this sense, the Bra...
In the context of emissions, carbon dioxide constitutes a predominant portion of greenhouse gases (GHGs), leading to the use of the term “carbon” interchangeably with these gases in climate-related discussions. The carbon market has emerg...
The agro-industrial sector in Indonesia produces significant amounts of nutrient-rich waste and wastewater, which pose environmental risks but also present opportunities for valorization within a circular bioeconomy. Microalgae provide a promising so...
Economic criteria have prevailed in studies on integration of renewable energies. Tons of dangerous emissions are emitted by a biomass fuel, causing negative impacts over atmosphere and health. Current research proposes Pinch Analysis of solar therma...
Due to the globalization of supply chains and the resulting increase in the quantity and diversity of suppliers, the segmentation of suppliers has become fundamental to improving relationship management and supplier performance. Moreover, given the n...
