  • Title: Comparative techno-economic assessment and LCA of selected integrated sugarcane-based biorefineries.
    Author: Gnansounou E, Vaskan P, Pachón ER.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2015 Nov; 196():364-75. PubMed ID: 26255600.
    Abstract:
    This work addresses the economic and environmental performance of integrated biorefineries based on sugarcane juice and residues. Four multiproduct scenarios were considered; two from sugar mills and the others from ethanol distilleries. They are integrated biorefineries producing first (1G) and second (2G) generation ethanol, sugar, molasses (for animal feed) and electricity in the context of Brazil. The scenarios were analysed and compared using techno-economic value-based approach and LCA methodology. The results show that the best economic configuration is provided by a scenario with largest ethanol production while the best environmental performance is presented by a scenario with full integration sugar - 1G2G ethanol production.
