Biomass-to-
bioenergy and
biofuel supply
chain
optimization:Ove
rview, key issues
and challenges
presented by :
Herson andres gonzalez
introduction
 This paper describes the main challenges and
opportunities in modeling and optimization of
supply biomass bioenergy productions. It
reviews the main routes of energy from
biomass for bioenergy from terrestrial and
aquatic products for biofuels.
introduction
 Global biofuels production is growing steadily
and will continue. Biofuels offer greater
energy security, reduced greenhouse gas
emissions and particulate matter, rural
development, better vehicle performance and
a reduction in oil demand.
Why?
It is not a secret that fossil fuels (hydrocarbons)
are finishing and we only hace resources for 20
years more, these are causing pollution,
greenhouse damage to the ozone layer and
therefore global warming; this is the reason why
new alternatives are sought to meet these
energy demands.
Cause
 In this paper we study the ability of biomass to
produce biofuels as these are more
environmentally friendly, inexpensive and can
be obtained from a variety of sources; that is
the reason for studying several alternatives
for the production of these.
How?
 We look for to optimize supply chains of
biomass for bioenergy, from aquatic and
terrestrial biomass, moving from the
laboratory to industrial plants behave like
looking at these substrate concentrations to
reproduce, high pressures and temperatures
than operate among others.
Terrestrial raw materials
 Many types of biomass are available, the first
group includes grains of corn, sugar cane,
soybeans, oilseeds, etc.. These raw materials
are high in sugar or fat, and have a high yield
after converted into bioethanol or biodiesel.
Terrestrial raw materials
 the use of these raw materials for the
production of biofuels could cause problems
in terms of food prices and production.
 The second group of materials are not edible
starch, agricultural waste and forestry
residues other crops
Aquatic raw materials
 Aquatic Biomass includes a diverse group of
photosynthetic algae and cyanobacteria
ranging from (microalgae and cyanobacteria)
to large seaweeds (macroalgae) Many macro
algae, micro algae and cyanobacteria serve to
drive the rapid growth of biomass. Certain
strains make extremely efficient use of light
and nutrients to grow.
Principal Products
 Ethanol and other alcohols
 Bio-diesel
 Drop-in biofuels
Intermediates products
 Sugars or carbohydrate derivatives
 lipids
 Syngas
 Bio-oil
methodologies used
 biochemical technologies
The main biochemical conversion processes include
pretreatment, hydrolysis, biological or chemical
processing.
 thermochemical technologies
used in addition to high temperature catalysts to
change the physical properties and chemical
structures of biomass resources. There are two
major pathways thermochemical reaction:
gasification and pyrolysis.
Process Diagram
inference
These are endless advantages and applications
which have the production of biofuels, since they
reduce the environmental impact considerably
and also help meet the demand for oil in the
world, as this is more cost-effective renewable
and more environmentally friendly.
Thanks
