Cereals for bioethanol: quantifying the alcohol yield of UK hard wheats and the grain yields and N requirements of triticale in the second cereal position
Industrial uses / PR478 / Published: 14 September 2011
This project is the first to consider the performance of hard wheat varieties for bioethanol production in the UK. It is also the first to describe a series of experiments in which modern winter wheat and triticale varieties have been studied under comparable conditions of nitrogen (N) nutrition and crop management. This latter work was carried out in the context of identifying the best cereals for bioethanol production, particularly in the second position in the rotation.
Maximising bioethanol processing yield of UK wheat: effects of non starch polysaccharides in grain
Industrial uses / PR467 / Published: 7 April 2010
The objectives of the project were to understand differences in alcohol yield (AY) between UK wheats typical of those which would be delivered to a biofuel distillery including hard endosperm and 1B1R wheats
Lightweight Eco-composites Based on Renewable Raw Materials
Industrial uses / PR453 / Published: 30 June 2009
The aim of the project was to develop novel technologies for industrial production of lightweight eco-composites applicable in many industrial sectors.

Feasibility of co-producing arabinoxylans and ethanol in a wheat biorefinery: Fractionation studies on UK wheats
Industrial uses / PR448 / Published: 2 March 2009
Arabinoxylans are a promising candidate for co-production alongside bioethanol in an integrated wheat biorefinery, having both food and pharmaceutical uses. However, the economics of a biorefinery depend strongly on wheat composition.
Growing high oleic low linolenic (HOLL) oilseed rape for specialised markets
Variety trials / PR442 / Published: 12 November 2008
Growing high oleic low linolenic (HOLL) oilseed rape for specialised markets
The potential of triticale as a low input cereal for bioethanol production
Industrial uses / PR434 / Published: 4 August 2008
The aim of this work was to quantify the performance of modern triticale varieties grown under UK conditions, to assess their value for the bioethanol market, and to evaluate any potential greenhouse gas savings made in comparison with production of winter wheat.
Understanding and managing uncertainties to improve biofuel GHG emissions calculations
Industrial uses / PR435 Part 2 / Published: 30 July 2008
This report reviews the nature and extent of uncertainties surrounding greenhouse gas emissions for biofuel feedstock production.
Facilitating carbon (GHG) accreditation schemes for biofuels, feedstock production
Industrial uses / PR435 Part 1 / Published: 30 July 2008
The research reported here shows that very substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are possible from so-called conventional bioethanol and biodiesel fuels manufactured from UK-produced feedstocks (wheat grain and oil seed rape) when substituting for mineral petrol and diesel.
