The Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between NREL and Ecopetrol aims to optimize the conversion process for bagasse (the material left over after the sugars are removed from the sugar cane) and to analyze the economic case for commercial production of biofuel from these materials.

A team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reports the production of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from monosaccharide (fructose and glucose), polysaccharide (inulin) and the Jerusalem artichoke juice by a simple one-pot reaction including hydrolysis and dehydration using solid acid under mild conditions. —Yang et al.

Researchers at Tsinghua University in China have shown that sugarcane juice is a good feedstock for biodiesel production, when used to support the growth of the alga Chlorella protothecoides by heterotrophic fermentation. Conversion ratios of sugar/biomass and sugar/oil using SCH were 15.2 higher than that using glucose, respectively.

Bagasse is the fibrous residue remaining after the extraction of juice from the crushed stalks of sugarcane. The FEL-2 engineering package is being completed for the green-field IH 2 process plant by KBR, Inc. Because only the inedible residue is used in the IH 2 process, there is no direct competition between food and fuel.

Chromatin’s SweetFuel hybrids are designed to capture the value of sugars produced in sorghum juice as well as the additional value of the energy stored in biomass or bagasse. Chromatin Inc. announced its dual-purpose SweetFuel sorghum hybrids, which combine high yields of both fermentable sugar and biomass per acre. —David Jessen.

The funding will support the roll-out of Edeniq’s PATHWAY Platform, which increases ethanol yield at existing plants by three to six percent through a more complete conversion of starch and cellulosic corn kernel fiber into ethanol. The plant is co-located with Usina Vale’s ethanol and sugar production suite in Sao Paulo State, Brazil.
