Future trends for biojet fuel and biosuccinic acid production in São Paulo state, Brazil: An agent-based modelling and simulation approach to explore institutional barriers and opportunities

Within the context of growing concerns about oil supply security and greenhouse gas emissions, both the aviation and petrochemical sector are exploring alternative feedstocks for the production of jet fuel and chemicals, respectively. In that light, research into bio-based jet fuels (biojet fuel) and bio-based chemicals has been accelerating in...

The integration of environmental and social sustainability impacts of the biojet fuel product system within the life cycle assessment framework

The Master's programme Industrial Ecology is jointly organised by Leiden University and Delft University of Technology - Biojet fuel is developed as a potentially more sustainable alternative to existing petroleum based jet fuels. To establish the environmental and social sustainability of the biojet fuel product system, the full life cycle of...

Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis of Oil Crop and Forestry Residues based Biorefineries for Biojet Fuel production in Brazil

The well-known volatility of petroleum price and, subsequently, of its derived products has long time urged the attention for the discovery of alternatives to fossil oil. More recently, the dichotomy food-fuel, has redirected the research towards second generation feedstocks, in which biomass residues are included. In line with this, a...
