“…TEA of bioethanol production from wheat straw revealed that 20 million liters of ethanol could be obtained annually with a sale price equal to or greater than $2.57 L –1 ( Hasanly et al, 2018 ). Chong et al (2020) conducted TEA of third-generation bioethanol production from macroalgae cellulosic residue, finding that 15,833.3 kgh –1 of biomass material was required to produce 7,626 kgh –1 of bioethanol, leading a net energy ratio of 0.53 and a minimum selling price of $0.54 kg –1 . The economic analysis of utilization of soybean straw for biofuel production suggested a minimum selling price of $1.94 kg –1 biohydrogen, with a considerable payback period of 2.5 years ( Okolie et al, 2021 ).…”

For decades, lignocellulosic biomass has been introduced to the public as the most important raw material for the environmentally and economically sustainable production of high-valued bioproducts by microorganisms. However, due to the strong recalcitrant structure, the lignocellulosic materials have major limitations to obtain fermentable sugars for transformation into value-added products, e.g., bioethanol, biobutanol, biohydrogen, etc. In this review, we analyzed the recent trends in bioenergy production from pretreated lignocellulose, with special attention to the new strategies for overcoming pretreatment barriers. In addition, persistent challenges in developing for low-cost advanced processing technologies are also pointed out, illustrating new approaches to addressing the global energy crisis and climate change caused by the use of fossil fuels. The insights given in this study will enable a better understanding of current processes and facilitate further development on lignocellulosic bioenergy production.

“…The design achieved positive energy saving by performing Heat Exchanges Networks Synthesis and process optimization and could reach a net energy ratio of 0.53. It also showed economic viability with a minimum selling price for anhydrous ethanol of $0.54/kg [ 161 ]. Techno-economic analysis of ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass was investigated by a previous study [ 162 ].…”

The increasing demand for petroleum-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET) grows population impacts daily. A greener and more sustainable raw material, lignocellulose, is a promising replacement of petroleum-based raw materials to convert into bio-PET. This paper reviews the recent development of lignocellulose conversion into bio-PET through bioethanol reaction pathways. This review addresses lignocellulose properties, bioethanol production processes, separation processes of bioethanol, and the production of bio–terephthalic acid and bio–polyethylene terephthalate. The article also discusses the current industries that manufacture alcohol-based raw materials for bio-PET or bio-PET products. In the future, the production of bio-PET from biomass will increase due to the scarcity of petroleum-based raw materials.

“…The food-grade κ-carrageenan is derived from red macroalgae. Because of the residue's avoided disposal cost, it is assumed that the feedstock can be obtained at a relatively low price (Chong et al 2020). It should be noted that the food-grade κ-carrageenan market is limited in growth potential.…”
