Environmental and economic advantages of production and application of digestate biochar

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 30, P. 103109 - 103109

It has been repeatedly and independently proved that biochar applications brings a wide range of environmental advantages. For these benefits to have any tangible impact on global scale, needs be applied in substantial quantities. However, the commercial applicability most research date is limited by demanding requirements for used (pricy feedstocks or activated ways). Nevertheless, such production alternatives increase costs thus undermine financial sustainability many applications. In contrast, from digestate via waste heat (from methane combustion at biogas plants) several synergies make it possible obtain low constant quality throughout year. Techno-economic considerations above-reviewed literature indicates first time this competitive advantage can mass scale eutrophication prevention. Based synthesis reviewed literature, review accompanied (1) proposal activation subsequent use wastewater treatment plants (2) estimate, which profitability new application.

Nitrogen management in farming systems under the use of agricultural wastes and circular economy

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 876, P. 162666 - 162666

Published: March 7, 2023

Population growth leads to an increase in the demand for energy, water, and food as cities grow urbanize. However, Earth's limited resources are unable meet these rising demands. Modern farming practices productivity, but waste consume too much energy. Agricultural activities occupy 50 % of all habitable land. After a rise 80 2021, fertilizer prices have increased by nearly 30 2022, representing significant cost farmers. Sustainable organic has potential reduce use inorganic fertilizers utilization residues nitrogen (N) source plant nutrition. management typically prioritizes nutrient cycling supply crop growth, whereas mineralization added biomass regulates CO2 emissions. To overconsumption natural environmental damage, current economic model "take-make-use-dispose" must be replaced "prevention-reuse-remake-recycle". The circular economy is promising preserving providing sustainable, restorative, regenerative farming. Technosols wastes can improve security, ecosystem services, availability arable land, human health. This study intends investigate nutrition provided agricultural systems, reviewing state knowledge demonstrating how common utilized promote sustainable management. Nine were selected sustainability based on zero criteria. Using standard methods, their water content, matter, total carbon, Kjeldahl nitrogen, ammonium levels determined, along with soil fertility via N technosol formulation. 10 15 was mineralized analysed during six-month cultivation cycle. Through results, combination fertilization yield recommended, search realistic practical methods dealing massive amounts within context economy.

Biochar as a tool for the improvement of soil and environment

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: Dec. 18, 2023

Biochar is a versatile and sustainable tool for agricultural environmental remediation due to its unique physicochemical properties in terms of soil fertility, nutrient retention, water holding capacity. As stable carbon-rich material, biochar promotes plant growth increases crop yields by enhancing microbial activity. It can also be used as sorbent removing pollutants such heavy metals, organic contaminants, nutrients from systems. However, the utility ecological impact affected combined effects many variables. This paper discusses application on potential mitigate various challenges composition, augmenting accessibility, part efforts promote agriculture based recent findings. These findings are expected improve farming while contributing mitigation climate change diverse routes (e.g., sequestering atmospheric carbon, improving quality, reducing greenhouse gas emissions). offers promising opportunity help harness power pave way more resilient future.

Recent advances in biotechnological valorization of agro-food wastes (AFW): Optimizing integrated approaches for sustainable biorefinery and circular bioeconomy

Bioresource Technology Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 26, P. 101823 - 101823

Published: March 24, 2024

Achieving renewable clean energy to meet increasing global demand and counter overreliance on depleting unsustainable sources has recently drawn significant research interest. Similarly, attain the sustainable development goals (SDGs) "zero hunger" agenda, massive agricultural/food productions are embarked on, leading increased agro-food waste (AFW) generation with enormous handling costs evade its contribution environmental pollution. The advent of biorefineries fostered a healthy balance for tackling challenges from AFW – thereby promoting circular bioeconomy (CBE). Integrating several emerging microbial/enzymatic bioconversion processes facilitated overall increase in process efficiency. This review, therefore, provides extensive information ecological impacts AFW, as well biorefinery sustainability. We also critically reviewed advances integrated engineering valorization. Finally, limitations prospects real-life application these recent approaches were suggested.
