"We agree that open data allows citizens to hold governments to account, drives improvements in public services by informing choice, and provides a feedstock for innovation and growth.
Alternatively, woody biomass resource could provide a valuable feedstock for producing biofuels such as aviation fuels (Booth et al. 2014; Murphy et al. 2015) and to potential biofuel generators within SEQ such as the Northern Oil at Gladstone.
The successful outcome will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and provide a viable feedstock for bio-based chemicals and fuels.
There is currently much interest in the use of carbon dioxide as a chemical starting material, both to provide an alternative feedstock to fossil fuels and to help to mitigate global warming.[ 1] For the latter application, it is desirable that processes are developed which operate at atmospheric pressure and at or near room temperature.
Warm-season legumes can provide a low-input feedstock for biofuel, but research comparing the biomass and N content is lacking.
Overall, ethanol production from sorghum bagasse appears very favorable, but other agricultural residues such as corn stover and rice hulls would likely provide a more attractive feedstock for making ethanol in the medium and long term due to their extensive availability in North China and their independence from other markets.
Suggested use of waste agriculture streams in a bioenergy-based process can increase the productivity and sustainability of rural areas while providing a new feedstock that has significant advantages compared to first-generation biofuel feedstocks.
Currently, the use of biomass as an energy source has received a tremendous amount of interest from all over the world due to its advantage in providing a continuous feedstock supply.
Lignocellulosic biomass from trees provides a renewable feedstock for biofuels, lumber, pulp, paper, and other uses.
A conceptual yeast HTL biofuel platform suggests the use of a dairy waste stream for increasing the productivity and sustainability of rural areas while providing a new feedstock (yeast) for generating biofuels.
