Life cycle impact assessment of biofuels derived from sweet sorghum in the U.S.

Life cycle impact assessment of biofuels derived from sweet sorghum in the U.S.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the environmental impact of the production of a range of liquid biofuels produced from the combination of fermenting sorghum stalk juice (bioethanol) and the pyrolysis/hydrotreatment of residual bagasse (renewable gasoline and diesel). Life cyc...
