    What Is Still Limiting the Deployment of Cellulosic Ethanol? Analysis of the Current Status of the Sector

    applied sciences Review What is still Limiting the Deployment of Cellulosic Ethanol? Analysis of the Current Status of the Sector Monica Padella *, Adrian O’Connell and Matteo Prussi European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Directorate C-Energy, Transport and Climate, Energy Efficiency and Renewables Unit C.2-Via E. Fermi 2749, 21027 Ispra, Italy; [email protected] (A.O.); [email protected] (M.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 September 2019; Accepted: 15 October 2019; Published: 24 October 2019 Abstract: Ethanol production from cellulosic material is considered one of the most promising options for future biofuel production contributing to both the energy diversification and decarbonization of the transport sector, especially where electricity is not a viable option (e.g., aviation). Compared to conventional (or first generation) ethanol production from food and feed crops (mainly sugar and starch based crops), cellulosic (or second generation) ethanol provides better performance in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings and low risk of direct and indirect land-use change. However, despite the policy support (in terms of targets) and significant R&D funding in the last decade (both in EU and outside the EU), cellulosic ethanol production appears to be still limited. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the status of cellulosic ethanol production in EU and outside EU, reviewing available literature and highlighting technical and non-technical barriers that still limit its production at commercial scale. The review shows that the cellulosic ethanol sector appears to be still stagnating, characterized by technical difficulties as well as high production costs.

The report attempts to provide direction to farmer organizations and to the corn industry about potential targets for investing research funds. One should recognize that some of the modifications considered required speculation about functional properties and potential applications. Additional research on the relationship between the structures of starch and other complex carbohydrates and functionality in food and industrial applications may refute some of that speculation.

  • Corn - an A-Maizing Plant

    Corn - an A-Maizing Plant

    Corn - An A-Maizing Plant Grade Level: 4-6 Approximate Length of Activity: Two to three class periods Objectives: Teacher: 1. Guide students in a discussion on corn production. 2. Help students understand the history of corn production. Students: 1. Locate and label the states on a U.S. map that make up the "Corn Belt". 2. Become familiar with the parts of the corn kernel. 3. Recognize products made from corn used in our daily lives. 4. Be able to distinguish, through dissection, the four different parts of a corn kernel. Michigan Content Standards: (Social Studies) II.2.2; II.2.3; IV.2.3 Introduction: The Corn Belt is a group of states where most of the corn in the United States is produced. Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota produce 50 percent of all the corn grown in the US. Other major corn growing states include Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Ohio. These 12 states make up the Corn Belt. Corn is the major feed grain grown by farmers in the U.S., leading all other crops in value and volume of production. Corn is a major component in foods like cereals, peanut butter, and snack foods. An ear of corn has an average of 16 rows with 800 kernels. A pound of corn consists of approximately 1,300 kernels. An acre (about the size of a football field) of corn, yielding 100 bushels, produces approximately 7,280,000 kernels. Most of the weight of a bushel of corn is the starch, oil, protein, and fiber, with some natural moisture.

    Insights Into the Genetic and Environmental Bases of Mycotoxin Contamination in Kenyan Maize

    INSIGHTS INTO THE GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BASES OF MYCOTOXIN CONTAMINATION IN KENYAN MAIZE A Dissertation Presented To the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Samuel Kilonzo Mutiga January 2015 © 2015 Samuel Kilonzo Mutiga ii INSIGHTS INTO THE GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BASES OF MYCOTOXIN CONTAMINATION IN KENYAN MAIZE Samuel Kilonzo Mutiga, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2015 Mycotoxins are toxic fungal secondary metabolites that contaminate an estimated 25% of foods globally. Aflatoxin and fumonisin are major mycotoxins that contaminate maize in tropical countries. Kenya’s frequent aflatoxicosis outbreaks and the associated human fatality rates have received global attention. The objective of this dissertation was to investigate the extent and the drivers for mycotoxin contamination in Kenyan maize. Between May 2009 and March 2010, surveys were conducted in three provinces (Rift Valley, Western and Nyanza) of western Kenya, the country’s grain basket and a region where mycotoxin outbreak had not been recognized. Aflatoxin contamination above the regulatory limit of 10 ppb was observed in 15% of the flour samples that had been collected from the patrons of local mills. Drought and monocropping were identified as drivers for increased aflatoxin contamination. A longitudinal survey in farmers’ storage sheds and at local mills in Western Province revealed vulnerability of the most popular varieties to mycotoxins. Surveys were conducted in 10 districts of Eastern Province during an aflatoxin outbreak in 2010. Aflatoxin contamination above 10 ppb was observed in 39% of the flour samples from patrons (n=1500) of local mills, while 37% were above the 1 ppm regulatory limit for fumonisin.
  • Conversion of Corn-Kernel Fiber in Conventional Fuel-Ethanol Plants National Corn to Ethanol Research Center

    Conversion of Corn-Kernel Fiber in Conventional Fuel-Ethanol Plants National Corn to Ethanol Research Center

    Project No. 0340-19-03 (short version) November 11, 2018 Conversion of Corn-Kernel Fiber in Conventional Fuel-Ethanol Plants National Corn to Ethanol Research Center Executive Summary Ethanol derived from corn-kernel fiber is qualified as cellulosic biofuel since its production results in a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas production relative to a 2005 baseline for petroleum fuels according to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) (U.S. EPA). A conventional fuel-ethanol plant can achieve a potential 9% increase in ethanol production (compared with the starch based ethanol), if they can successfully convert and ferment the cellulose and hemicellulose (xylose and galactose) in corn-kernel fiber; and achieve an additional 3% increase in ethanol production if they can ferment the arabinose derived from hemicellulose. Although complete conversion of all the corn-kernel fiber sugars to ethanol (total of 12% increase) is not possible because some byproducts are always produced, the economic benefits through the production of cellulosic ethanol for a conventional fuel-ethanol plant are much greater than 12%. Commercial technologies have been developed to optimize the conversion of corn-kernel fiber to ethanol, and they are currently available in three categories: (1) in situ technologies, in which fiber is converted to ethanol simultaneously with starch conversion, (2) technologies in which fiber is physically separated from other components of the corn kernel followed by processing of the fiber-rich material independently of the starch process train, and (3) technologies in which post-distillation residual solids from the conventional starch-based ethanol process provide the feedstock for conversion of the fiber fraction into ethanol.

Abstract Purple corn has acquired great interest by its high content of anthocyanins and bioactive properties. Among this type of corn the Andean purple corn has been the most studied, however, in Mexico, we have the “maíces mora- dos”, which is recognized by its dark purple color. Since there is no record about its content of anthocyanins, in this study we quantified the total anthocyanins (TA) accumulated in the pericarp, aleurone layer, kernel, and corn- cob of 52 corn populations with different grades of pigmentation. Results showed that TA was superior in purple corn than in blue and red corn. TA ranged from 0.0044 to 0.0523 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of biomass in the aleurone layer; in the pericarp from 0.2529 to 2.6452 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of pericarp; in the kernel from 0.0398 to 0.2398 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of kernel and in the corncob from 0.1004 to 1.1022 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of corncob.

The reduced cial corn starches with different contents of amylose, corn protein, and quadratic model fits the conversion efficiency data better than the full corn fiber, as well as media made from different cereal sources including quadratic model does. Fermentation tests on mashes made from corn, corn, sorghum, and wheat with different amylose contents. Second-order sorghum, and wheat samples with different amylose contents confirmed response-surface regression models were used to study the effects and the adverse effect of amylose content on fermentation efficiency. High- interactions of amylose, protein, and fiber contents on ethanol yield and temperature cooking with agitation significantly increased the conversion conversion efficiency. The results showed that the amylose content of efficiencies on mashes made from high-amylose (35–70%) ground corn starches had a significant (P < 0.001) effect on ethanol conversion effi- and starches. A cooking temperature of ≥160°C was needed on high- ciency. No significant effect of protein content on ethanol production was amylose corn and starches to obtain a conversion efficiency equal to that observed.

    AP-42, CH 9.9.7: Corn Wet Milling

    9.9.7 Corn Wet Milling 9.9.7.1 General1 Establishments in corn wet milling are engaged primarily in producing starch, syrup, oil, sugar, and byproducts such as gluten feed and meal, from wet milling of corn and sorghum. These facilities may also produce starch from other vegetables and grains, such as potatoes and wheat. In 1994, 27 corn wet milling facilities were reported to be operating in the United States. 9.9.7.2 Process Description1-4 The corn wet milling industry has grown in its 150 years of existence into the most diversified and integrated of the grain processing industries. The corn refining industry produces hundreds of products and byproducts, such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), corn syrup, starches, animal feed, oil, and alcohol. In the corn wet milling process, the corn kernel (see Figure 9.9.7-1) is separated into 3 principal parts: (1) the outer skin, called the bran or hull; (2) the germ, containing most of the oil; and (3) the endosperm (gluten and starch). From an average bushel of corn weighing 25 kilograms (kg) (56 pounds [lb]), approximately 14 kg (32 lb) of starch is produced, about 6.6 kg (14.5 lb) of feed and feed products, about 0.9 kg (2 lb) of oil, and the remainder is water. The overall corn wet milling process consists of numerous steps or stages, as shown schematically in Figure 9.9.7-2. Shelled corn is delivered to the wet milling plant primarily by rail and truck and is unloaded into a receiving pit.

Haggag Department of Plant Pathology, National Research Center, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt. ABSTRACT There are many diseases of corn caused by fungi, viruses, bacteria and nematodes. Diseases of corn cause yearly losses from two to seven percent, but in some localized areas, oneor more diseases may become acute and destroy a larger percentage of the crop. Key word: Introduction Corn is the second most important crop (750,000 feddans) in Egypt. Egypt produces about 5.9 million tons of corn annually, and is expect to import about 4.5 million tons in 2006. Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes refined corn oil a valuable frying oil. Different types of products can be created from corn, such as corn flour, cornflake, corn syrup, popcorn, rice corn and corn soap. Even corn whiskey. Corn syrup, which is one of several natural sweeteners derived from corn starch, is used in a wide variety of food products. It is rich in linoleic acid, one of the three essential fatty acids. Corn has many uses throughout the food chain as feed for animals and as an ingredient on its own. However , manycorn fields in Egypt develop disease problems every year that affect yield and quality of the grain crop. As history has shown repeatedly, corn diseases can and do periodically cause significant yield losses in patterns that are difficult to predict in advance.
  • World Cultures

    World Cultures

    Understanding Other Cultures…Unity in Diversity Now, more than ever, it’s vital for each of us to understand cultures other than our own, to accept differences in others and to truly love the uniqueness of each individual. In our schools, churches, neighborhoods and communities we are surrounded by opportunities to learn and benefit from others’ cultural traditions. Now is the time to celebrate our similarities as well as our differences. Let’s get started! Changing our perceptions requires some effort on our part. Do we really understand the background and experiences of those around us and are we ready to learn from them as well as serve them? How can we accomplish this in our already busy lives? Simple ways to expand our cultural awareness might include: *Family Home Evening time spent learning about a different country or culture each week. Let the kids take turns teaching about a different country. Sample a food from that country and try a traditional activity. Check out some books from the library to read individually or together. The information listed below may help. Each country submission is as unique as the person from whom it came, and his or her experiences either as a native of that country or as resident. *Young Women/Young Men class and combined activities could include a “Culture Night”, particularly focusing on cultures within the youth group. *Relief Society Enrichment activities could include book groups readings/discussions of books about other cultures,, learning new cooking methods and techniques or having a “culture quiz” to check our own understanding in a fun and interactive way.
