Growing non-biodegradable waste plastics pose a significant environmental challenge that cannot be addressed by conventional methods alone. Therefore, alternative management such as plastic-to-fuel convert into valuable biofuels via thermochemical degradation must investigated. Waste plastic pyrolysis and gasification are popular technologies will instrumental in circular economies. they discussed compared to highlight their advantages limitations in-process techno-economic feasibility. Thus, this paper tries reach three technologies: microwave-assisted pyrolysis, supercritical water gasification, plasma highlighting strengths weaknesses. It appears the diesel-like oil from microwave can used internal combustion engines mitigate fossil fuel dependence. Moreover, could help growth of integrated biorefineries extract hydrogen syngas produce value-added chemicals. is anticipated industrial-scale implementation beneficial for landfill reclamation mitigation plastic-related harm. However, these currently at low technology readiness levels. more studies required spotlight in-depth feasibility provide research direction economize further maximize economic rate return.

Continual global energy scarcity and its future challenges, as well environmental disasters, are causing devastation. Additionally, a substantial quantity of food is being wasted regularly. Therefore, the adoption circular bioeconomy principles bioconversion appears to be both highly advantageous urgently required. However, previous studies have placed limited emphasis on technological progress aspects associated with food. The present review thus investigates how mass-generated waste can used produce valuable bioproducts through techniques such oleaginous metabolism, anaerobic fermentation, solventogenesis. These attracted considerable interest due their eco-friendly resource-recycling capacities, efficiency sustainability. paper also discusses approaches integrate biorefineries within existing economies establish analyses challenges techno-economic, life cycle scenarios these approaches. Analysis techno-economic effects reveals that lucrative if certain pathways maintained. impact methods found substantially lower than conventional methods. Integrating processes further improves process sustainably recovers resources. Developing requires biorefinery strategy an integrated approach.

Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) are better than others in commercially used FCs due to easy availability, less toxicity, and C‐2‐type alcohol. Ethanol has a high theoretical efficiency of 97% is safe, plentiful, renewable resource that can be stored controlled using the infrastructure place now. Nevertheless, low functional efficiencies release carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), acetaldehyde, byproducts acetic acid must addressed if DEFCs grow become more viable. To overcome these problems, new anode cathode catalysts needed, so this review article discusses introduction with their structure, working mechanism. Further, report covers various types FC catalysts, application technology explained.
