Abstract

Due to the progressive deplection of fossil energetic sources and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, new research are focusing in biofuels development mainly these feedstocks which are not competitive with animal or human feeding. In this work, carob pod is suggested as a new feedstock for bioethanol production. A tecno-economic study and life cycle assessment of the production process have been done.
