How Brazil Can Capitalize on Cellulosic EthanolJohan Melchior
- Brazil is well positioned to capitalize on cellulosic ethanol production due to its large availability of bagasse (sugar cane residue) as a feedstock, existing sugar cane processing infrastructure, and the economic benefits of co-locating cellulosic ethanol facilities with sugar mills.
- Co-locating cellulosic ethanol production provides significant project cost savings over building standalone facilities and reduces land use needs for ethanol production in Brazil.
- Commercialization of cellulosic ethanol is accelerating, with several plants expected to begin construction in 2011, helped by technological advances like Novozymes' new Cellic CTec2 enzyme.

Microalgae for the production of bulk chemicals and fuelsivangenio1989
This document discusses the potential for producing bulk chemicals and biofuels from microalgae. While microalgae have a high areal productivity compared to terrestrial crops, the technology for large-scale microalgae production is still immature. Estimates of areal productivity need to be realistic. For microalgae to be economically feasible for fuel production, the production cost must be reduced significantly and scale increased dramatically. Biorefining all components of the microalgae biomass, including lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, will be important to develop a sustainable process. If nutrients, CO2 and energy inputs can be reduced through an optimized system design, the production cost could potentially be low enough for economic feasibility.
The ppt covers the current use of corn for ethanol, the Energy Independence & Security Act and its impact on corn, future prospects for corn starch based ethanol, how fast cellulosic ethanol will develop,which feedstocks will be utilized to produce cellulosic ethanol and risks to biofuels growth.
This document provides a summary of India's biomass power sector. It notes that India has a biomass availability of 150 million metric tons per year, providing potential to install 16,000 MW of biomass power plants. However, only 600 MW is currently installed due to higher costs and inconsistent biomass fuel availability. The government provides several incentives to promote investment in biomass power. Major investments are planned from both public and private sectors to develop biomass power projects across various Indian states. Biomass cultivation and improved technologies are also areas of focus to boost the biomass power sector in India.

17. WHAT ARE THE
SUSTAINABILITY ASSUMPTIONS?
LAND USE In this study we assume land use patterns will not change before 2030;
PATTERNS existing activities are not altered nor is new agricultural land added
We assume a maximum of 17.5% is potentially available for bioenergy
HUMUS production; it is a conservative estimate which deliberately steers clear
BALANCE of removing a high level of nutrients. For sugarcane bagasse we assume
that 30% is used for advanced biofuels. The rest for bioelectricity
YIELD Our methodology assumes stable yield growth rates, based on historic
data between 1989 and 2010

ENERGY We excluded energy crops and forestry residues. Taking them into
CROPS account would however increase total biomass availability

18. WHAT ARE THE
ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS
PLANT We assume total facility costs for a next-generation ethanol
COSTS refinery will be approximately $1.50 per litre of annual capacity
ETHANOL For this example we used $0.44 per litre as it is roughly the
REVENUES energy equivalent price with an oil price of $100 per barrel
