(2009-05-15)With the inevitable depletion of the petroleum supply and increasing energy demands in the world, interest has been growing in bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., sugarcane bagasse). Lignocellulosic biomass ...
-
(2014-05-05)Transportation fuels are the major driver for fossil fuel production, a burden that many countries have tried to ease by blending fossil fuels with biofuel substitutes such as ethanol. Current U.S. ethanol production relies ...
-
(The Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2012-10)Because of the magnitude of the existing corn harvest shortfall coupled with the large ethanol mandates, policymakers face extreme uncertainties looking into the future with potentially large economic ramifications. ...

Impacts of Biofuel Production and Navigation Impediments on Agricultural Transportation and Markets (2013-08-22)This study investigated the impacts of U.S. biofuel production and barge navigation impediments on agricultural transportation and markets. Both past and future impacts of U.S. biofuel production levels mandated by the ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)In-situ transmission Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy has been used to study the photocatalytic oxidation of acetone, ethanol and the interaction between acetone and ethanol. Compared with the degradation of acetone ...
-
(Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2013-12)Until recently, the 2007 ethanol mandates have been a story of very small environmental and security benefits and large, unexpected increases in food prices as corn was diverted from food to fuel uses. Now we have another ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This dissertation examines the influence that economic and technological factors have on the penetration of biodiesel and ethanol into the transportation fuels market. This dissertation focuses on four aspects. The first ...
-
(2011-10-21)The primary objective of this work is to identify the optimal bioethanol production plant capacity and configuration based on currently available technology for all the processing sections involved. To effect this study, ...
-
(2007-07-14)Temulose is a wastewater stream created in the production of medium-density fiberboard. It has a high sugar content, and therefore cannot be released into standard wastewater systems. Current methods for disposal of the ...

(2010-07-14)Through the use of a stochastic simulation model this project analyzes both the impacts of the expanding biofuels sector on water demand in selected regions of the United States and variations in the profitability of ethanol ...
-
(2014-04-18)Volatile oil prices and political uncertainty surrounding uninterrupted oil supplies has pressured the U.S. Congress and economists to search for substitutes. In response, the U.S. has enacted policies to directly support ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)A bio-refinery is a processing facility that produces liquid transportation fuels and/or value-added chemicals and other products. Because of the dwindling resources and escalating prices of fossil fuels, there are emerging ...
-
(2018-04-19)Mediator is a protein complex in eukaryotes which integrates signals from a diverse range of transcription factors and relays them to RNA polymerase. Much of mediator is highly conserved, but it is expected that some ...
-
(2009-05-15)This research is aimed at assessing the quantitative risks involved with an ethanol pipeline. Pipelines that run from the Midwest, where the vast majority of ethanol is produced, to the target areas where reformulated ...
-
(The Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2012-02)The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) mandated a steep rise in domestic ethanol production. The goals were to ease dependency on imported petroleum and to cut greenhouse gas emissions. A new blend of ...
-
(2015-05-07)Lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive source of renewable energy. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is often a biocatalyst of choice because of its ability to produce ethanol, as well as its robustness to harsh processing ...
