Abstract
The paper discusses chemical-engineering schemes whereby biomass is co nverted to both methanol and energy. Mathematical models are derived f or the schemes, and their efficiency is subjected to an exergetic anal ysis. The results are presented as isolines of surfaces representing s pecific yield of methanol, exergetic efficiency, and reduced turbine w ork. Maxima are located for the objective functions in the range of pr ocess variables of interest. The problem of global optimization of che mical-engineering schemes is stated.
