This research aims to propose the concept of a Symbiotic Energy-Cane Biorefinery (SYMBioref) in which energy cane, a sugarcane type rich in fibers, is co-processed with waste materials from other industries, especially refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from municipal solid-waste processing plants, to expand the production of ethanol to a portfolio of fuels and chemicals. This project will investi…
In this project, exchange visits will take place to consolidate and enhance the institutional collaboration between UNICAMP and University of Antioquia (UDEA) in order to further develop ongoing research. At FEQ/UNICAMP research has been investigating the potential of producing 1,3-butadiene (feedstock for rubber tires) from chemicals derived from sugarcane (Regular Research Award - BIOEN…
The purpose of this proposal is to seek funding in support of a Visiting Researcher to FEQ/UNICAMP, Professor Paul Stuart in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Polytechnique-Montréal. The main objective of the visit is to advance research concepts in the areas of process integration, energy efficiency, and process flexibility with focus on the transformation of Brazilian and Canadi…
Changes in the petrochemical industry have resulted in decreasing production of four-carbon olefins and, consequently, it has affected the supply of 1,3-butadiene to the rubber tires industry. For this reason, chemical companies have been searching for renewable sources of butadiene precursors, thereby creating a potential market for sugarcane companies. However, it is not obvious which t…

The butanol market is projected to grow until the end of the decade as a result of the possible applications of this compound in different sectors (for example, in the production of acrylates or as fuel). The most commonly adopted route for the generation of biobutanol is the ABE (Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol) fermentation, which is carried out mainly by anaerobic bacteria of the Clostridium s…
Butanol is an industrially important chemical and emerging alternative fuel, and its production by energy-cane ethanol mills may mitigate the financial risks that these mills face because energy-cane juice is poor in sucrose content and thus not suitable for the production of table sugar. This Ph.D. research proposes that energy-cane ethanol mills should be designed to process biomass-der…
The production of butanol has been drawing attention due to its use as a chemical and biofuel, and a promising processing route is the ABE (Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol) fermentation. However, the economic feasibility of the fermentative route is hampered by butanol inhibition and low ABE yield and productivity. Research has been demonstrating that genetic engineering and advanced fermentation…
Solventogenic clostridium species responsible for the ABE fermentation (Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol) are strongly inhibited by butanol, resulting in dilute processes with low energy efficiency and high stillage production. Possible solutions include fermentation technologies with integrated product recovery. Among these technologies, vacuum fermentation attracts attention due to its simplicit…
The butanol production by fermentation is limited to the low economic competitiveness associated with high prices of raw materials, energy inefficiency, low yield, and productivity. The use of sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate (C5 sugars, main xylose) and molasses as raw materials, are low-cost options and there is not competition for raw materials of second-generation ethanol …

Butanol is a compound utilized across various industries, serving both as a precursor for numerous materials and as a direct fuel source. Its production can be achieved through the Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process using solventogenic Clostridia, which can metabolize several carbohydrates, including glucose, arabinose, and xylose. This ability is particularly beneficial f…
