Table 4.

Global warming potentials (GWP) due to projected changes in the Danish energy mix

Process configuration Fossil share in energy mix
80 % 67 % 50 %
GWP [kgCO2-eq Lethanol-1]
Base case 3.4 3.0 2.4
Highest yield at 20 % DM 2.7 2.4 1.9
Highest yield at 30 % DM 3.1 2.7 2.1

This was done for the: a. base case (detoxification with Na2S2O4, PSSF at 12 % DM and 30 C); b. process configuration with the highest yield at 20 % DM (washing of slurry, PSSF at 40 C); c. process configuration with the highest yield at 30 % DM (adaptation of yeast + extra nutrients, SHF at 30 C)
