• Abstract

  The sucro-alcohol industry has significant participation in the Brazilian energy matrix, effectively contributing to the production of primary energy through various products, mainly ethanol, sugar, and electricity. However, the energy efficiency of the consolidated model of biorefinery in Brazil has some limitations, given that less than 25% of the gross energetic potential of sugarcane …

  Enhancement of energy production from sugarcane in first generation biorefineries: biodigestion as the core conversion step, BP.PD

• Abstract

  The difficulties associated to the trade and use of fossil fuels in the recent decades resulted in the development of alternative energy sources, considering an ever-increasing demand for energy, especially in the automotive sector. Among the alternative sources, we highlight the industry of biofuels, especially the one related to the production of ethanol. Ethanol production is based on …

  Thermophilic anaerobic biodigestion of vinasse in combined acidogenic-methanogenic systems to enhance bioenergy recovery in first generation sugarcane biorefineries, BP.DR

• Abstract

  The objective of this work is to verify whether anaerobic reactors applied to the treatment of residues with high concentrations of organic matter (e.g. stillage and brewery wastewater) are energetically favorable. Anaerobic digestion is characterized as an efficient process to treat effluents, such that it significantly reduces the environmental impact associated to the pollutant loading…
