A techno-economic comparison of Fischer–Tropsch and fast pyrolysis as ways of utilizing sugar cane bagasse in transportation fuels production. (2017)
Journal Article
Michailos, S., Parker, D., & Webb, C. (2017). A techno-economic comparison of Fischer–Tropsch and fast pyrolysis as ways of utilizing sugar cane bagasse in transportation fuels production. Chemical engineering research & design : transactions of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, 118, 206-214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2017.01.001

Due to limited biomass availability, the establishment of optimal route biofuel value chains (one conversion route for each feedstock) is a key prerequisite for a feasible bioenergy sector. This way, biorefineries can take advantage of the economies...
