Abstract

The analysis predicts that production of MCFAs, ethanol, and electricity could reduce the minimum ethanol selling price from $2.15 to $1.76 gal<sup>-1</sup> ($2.68 gal<sup>-1</sup> gasoline equivalents) when compared to a lignocellulosic biorefinery that produces only ethanol and electricity.
