The establishment of a marine focused biorefinery for bioethanol production using seawater and a novel marine yeast strain
Abstract Current technologies for bioethanol production rely on the use of freshwater for preparing the fermentation media and use yeasts of a terrestrial origin. Life cycle assessment has suggested that between 1,388 to 9,812 litres of freshwater are consumed for every litre of bioethanol produced....
