Exergetic, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental aspects of an industrial-scale molasses-based ethanol production plant

Sama Amid et al.

Summary: An industrial-scale molasses-based bioethanol production system was analyzed using exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental analyses. The study determined the exergetic efficiency, environmental impact, and cost factors of the process, highlighting natural gas consumption as a key exergetic hotspot. Consideration of more sustainable alternatives and utilization of low-cost waste feedstocks are recommended to improve process viability.

Exergoenvironmental analysis of bioenergy systems: A comprehensive review

Mortaza Aghbashlo et al.

Summary: Bioenergy systems are expected to expand in the coming decades to address energy security and environmental challenges, but they must be environmentally superior to conventional counterparts. Life cycle assessment is a widely used methodology, while the integration of LCA with exergy offers a powerful tool for environmental sustainability assessment of bioenergy systems.

Exergetic, economic, and environmental life cycle assessment analyses of a heavy-duty tractor diesel engine fueled with diesel-biodiesel-bioethanol blends

Homa Hosseinzadeh-Bandbafha et al.

Summary: The study found that substituting a portion of diesel with biodiesel and bioethanol is an attractive strategy from the exergetic, economic, and environmental perspectives. Increasing biodiesel concentration in the fuel blend can improve system performance, while the effects of bioethanol on the indicators were not consistent. Most of the prepared fuel blends were found to be superior to diesel.

Sustainability assessment of sugarcane residues valorization to biobutadiene by exergy and exergoeconomic evaluation

Alireza Fallahi et al.

Summary: The study simulated a process to produce bioethanol from sugarcane residues and then convert it to biobutadiene, aiming to improve the exergoeconomic performance by reducing the investment cost of biomass pretreatment and diminishing the exergy destruction cost of the saccharification/fermentation subsystem. Efforts to enhance the process exergoeconomically should focus on optimizing these key areas to achieve higher efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
