Title: Biomass‐based chemical production using techno‐economic and life cycle analysis

Abstract

Abstract Furfural has been selected as one of the top 30 biomass derived platform compounds by the U.S. Department of Energy based on several indicators including the raw material used for production, estimated processing cost, technical complexity, and market potential. In this work, several high value chemicals such as butadiene, surfactants, jet‐fuels, and lubricants are produced from furfural. The paper proposes the integrated flowsheet to produce those chemical and techno‐economic and life cycle analysis is performed to compare the minimum selling price and environmental impacts of the integrated process. The capital and operating cost for production of lubricants and surfactants is the highest when compared with other products. Production of surfactants performs the best in terms of environmental impacts except in water depletion when compared with other processes while butadiene production performs the worst regarding the environmental effects.

Techno-economic and Life Cycle Analysis of MixAlco® Processes for Mixed Alcohol Production from Brown Algae

Journal Article Athaley, Abhay ; Zhang, Yue ; Papoutsakis, Eleftherios T. ; ... - Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology

The need for producing renewable fuels from biomass has increased due to depleting fossil resources and environmental concerns. However, the low fraction of biomass carbon converted to product is an undeniable drawback for most current biofuel productions from fermentation due to undecomposed lignin in biomass composition and carbon loss as CO₂. In this work, two main production routes of the MixAlco® process, the ketonization route (KR) and esterification route (ER) are evaluated for the mixed alcohol production by brown algae, a third-generation biomass without lignin. A novel fermentation process using syntrophic bacteria consortia (SBC) is developed to produce acetic acidmore »« less

Techno-economic and life cycle analysis of different types of hydrolysis process for the production of p-Xylene

Journal Article Athaley, Abhay ; Annam, Praneeth ; Saha, Basudeb ; ... - Computers and Chemical Engineering

The need for producing renewable chemicals and fuels from lignocellulosic biomass has increased due to economic and environment reasons. However, most of the chemicals studied to date are produced using sugars, which is readily available from biomass as their starting raw materials rather than lignocellulose, which increase the minimum selling price of produced chemicals. In this work a novel one-step saccharification (combining pretreatment and hydrolysis) process of biomass using molten salt hydrates (MSHs), an inorganic salt solution, to produce sugars and further integration of the upstream process to produce p-Xylene is investigated. We compared our one-step process with reported commercialmore »« less

Techno-Economic Analysis on an Electrochemical Non-oxidative Deprotonation Process for Ethylene Production from Ethane

Technical Report Hu, Hongqiang ; Ding, Dong ; Knighton, Lane T. ; ...

This report has been prepared as part of a study for Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) program to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of integrating a light-water reactor (LWR) nuclear power plant (NPP) with an electrochemical, nonoxidative deprotonation (ENDP) process for production of ethylene from ethane. Process synthesis and modeling were utilized to assess the economic feasibility. ENDP is a novel, early TRL (~1-2) process for producing ethylene and hydrogen via the electrochemical dehydrogenation of ethane. It is currently being demonstrated at the laboratory scale at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Ethane is a plentiful feedstock that is separated asmore »« less

Techno-economic assessment of renewable methanol from biomass gasification and PEM electrolysis for decarbonization of the maritime sector in California

Journal Article de Fournas, Nicolas ; Wei, Max - Energy Conversion and Management

At scale, biomass-based fuels are seen as long-term alternatives to conventional shipping fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector. While the operational benefits of renewable methanol as a marine fuel are well-known, its cost and environmental performance depend largely on production method and geographic context. In this study, a techno-economic and environmental assessment of renewable methanol produced by gasification of forestry residues is performed. Two biorefinery systems are modeled thermodynamically for the first time, integrating several design changes to extend past work: (1) methanol synthesized by gasification of torrefied biomass while removing and storing underground a fraction of the carbon initially contained in it, and (2) integration of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer for increased carbon efficiency via hydrogen injection into the methanol synthesis process. The chosen use case is set in California, with forest residue biomass as the feedstock and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach as the shipping fuel demand point. Methanol produced by both systems achieves substantial lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions savings compared to traditional shipping fuels, ranging from 38 to 165%, from biomass roadside to methanol combustion. Renewable methanol can be carbon-negative if the CO₂ captured during the biomass conversion process is sequestered underground with net greenhouse gas emissions along the lifecycle amounting to –57 gCO₂eq/MJ. While the produced methanol in both pathways is still more expensive than conventional fossil fuels, the introduction of CO₂eq abatement incentives available in the U.S. and California could bring down minimum fuel selling prices substantially. The produced methanol can be competitive with fossil shipping fuels at credit amounts ranging frommore »« less

Pilot-Scale Testing of an Integrated Circuit for the Extraction of Rare Earth Minerals and Elements from Coal and Coal Byproducts Using Advanced Separation Technologies

Other Honaker, Rick ; Werner, Joshua ; Yang, Xinbo ; ...

The primary objective of this project was to develop and demonstrate an integrated pilot-scale circuitry for recovering high-value rare earth elements (REEs) from coal and coal byproducts. The target performance was to produce a mixed REE product with content of at least two percent by weight on a dry mass basis in a cost-effective and environmentally benign manner. During the first nine months of the project period (Phase 2 Budget Period 2), pilot plant construction was completed including all field site startup activities such as permitting, engineering design, procurement/bidding, unit fabrication, site construction, equipment installation, module assembly, safety training, andmore »« less
