Cellic ctec3 cellulases

Biorefinery operations require chemical inputs to convert the poplar biomass to acetic acid. The production of these chemicals is grouped into the ancillary chemicals section. Unit process data for the chemical inputs come from the USLCI [15 ], EcoInvent [24 ], literature, and the private sector. The electricity source in each unit process is set to come from a unit process representative of the 2012 U.S. national grid [38 ]. Data for enzyme production is supplied from Novozymes for their Cellic Ctec3 cellulases [39 ]. Transportation distances for each chemical are determined using the 2007 U.S. commodity flow survey [40 ].

Each biorefinery process requires chemical inputs to convert the poplar biomass to jet fuel. The production of these chemicals is grouped into the ancillary chemicals section. Tables 4 and 5 list the major chemical inputs required by each biorefinery. Unit process data for the chemical inputs come from the USLCI [27 ], EcoInvent [28 ], literature, and the private sector. The electricity source in each unit process was set to come from a unit process representative of the 2012 U.S. national grid [34 ]. Data for enzyme production is supplied from Novozymes for their Cellic Ctec3 cellulases (Novozymes, personal communication, 2012). Transportation distances for each chemical are determined using the 2007 U.S. commodity flow survey [35 ].
