ABSTRACT: Lignocellulosic ethanol is in the upfront of advanced biofuels to be commercialized worldwide. However, the commercial deployment of 2G ethanol is dependent of high biomass availability and cost-effective supply. In Europe, some agricultural residues are presently underused and constitute attractive renewable resources. In addition, residual forest biomass, non-seasonably available at low cost, might ...
ABSTRACT: By 2030, decarbonizing the transport sector will become mandatory requiring the introduction of advanced biofuels into the market, with minimum targets of 1% in 2025 and 3.5% in 2030 in accordance with the RED II Directive. To avoid future biofuels imports, it is essential that an industrial cluster emerges in Portugal with the capacity to produce advanced biofuels, such as 2G Bioethanol. In this cont...
