Abstract

A substantial amount of data exist on the performance of individual pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation technologies. However, the lack of data on integrated systems needs to be addressed as interactions between the process steps can impact the overall performance of a lignocellulosic biomass-to-ethanol process.The goal of this project is to develop comprehensive performance information on a common basis on integrated biomass pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation systems. This work will include developing a model to predict the performance of each unit operation, relating performance to features of biomass and catalysts, and estimating process economics on a common basis. Results will be made publicly available.
