In recent decades, biogas production from anaerobic digestion of organic fractions municipal solid waste and agricultural residues has emerged as a promising strategy for management renewable energy generation. However, due to the complexity heterogeneity these feedstocks, an appropriate pre-treatment is required before maximise biodegradability enhance production. This especially true lignocellulosic biomass, where maximum potential often difficult reach presence lignin barrier, which not easily biodegradable. Pre-treatment technologies may significantly increase production, up 360 %, residues. paper first provides overview technologies, including mechanical, chemical, biological, thermal, plasma, combined treatments wide variety feedstocks digestion. These studies indicate that selection technology mainly depends on substrate characteristics, desired end results, resource availability. Furthermore, most emphasise significance balancing benefits drawbacks sustainable waste-to-energy practices. Then, article evaluates scalability, technical feasibility, economic viability, industrial applicability environmental sustainability methods. review will be valuable researchers, policymakers, practitioners working in field conversion through

It is now common practice to conduct either a life cycle assessment (LCA) or techno-economic analysis (TEA) assess the feasibility and sustainability profiles of specific technologies product supply chains. Although numerous studies have proposed integrated frameworks for combining LCA TEA sectors, such framework has not been pulse protein processing sector date. The goal current was propose including, in addition, integration process simulation optimization capabilities, that can enable assessing improving existing emerging extraction pathways (i.e., dry fractionation, wet hybrid) based on combination technical, economic, environmental performance criteria. A systematic review published articles used identify key characteristics sector-specific subsequently comparable pathways, taking into consideration relevant attributes agri-food systems. Different system boundaries functional units are commonly utilized (cradle gate) TEA/process (gate gate), but proposes using same (both mass functionality based) output material. In addition adhering ISO 14044 standard established methodologies, recommends integrating simulation, genetic algorithm-based multi-objective optimization, GIS models spatially explicit raw material production scenarios, use analytical hierarchy facilitate multi-criteria decision making.

Sewage sludge to energy conversion is a sustainable waste management technique and means of militating against the environmental concerns associated with its disposal. Amongst various technologies, anaerobic digestion gasification have been identified as two most promising. Therefore, this study focused on detailed evaluation sewage for production. Moreover, key challenges hindering both technologies are discussed, well practical measures addressing them. The applicable pretreatment efficient transformation into valuable vectors were further evaluated. Specifically, evaluated properties in relation digestion. findings showed that high ash content results sintering agglomeration, while moisture promotes tar formation, which has one limitations gasification. More importantly, application shown some beneficial features promoting organic matter decomposition/degradation, thereby enhancing biogas syngas However, additional requirements operational costs, particularly thermal mechanical methods.

Due to the constantly growing customers' demand for local products, a significant rise in craft breweries' number, as well beer production, has been observed last years. The sustainability of breweries is hot scientific topic, which involves water and waste management, energy efficiency, renewable implementation. Life cycle assessment (LCA) life costing (LCC) are useful tools compare alternative management pathways standardized manner, highlighting hotspots with highest environmental/economic impact. Brewery-spent grain (BSG) represents main organic by-product production; traditionally, it used animal feed. However, not always there enough farms utilise all produced BSG locally, especially developed countries industrialized areas, so solutions should be exploited. This review gives thorough overview different technological valorisation considering state-of-the-art research on including both traditional (animal feed, composting, anaerobic digestion) innovative (thermochemical processes, pellets food chemicals' extraction) solutions. applicability each technology specifically discussed. To enhance decarbonize industrial generation, either through photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal, considered well: while thermal implementation appears cumbersome due batch nature PV installation mature, simple straightforward solution. Geothermal integration mentioned well. Finally, lack studies LCA/LCC application presented highlighted, requiring intensive future research.

Sewage sludge is the main by-product of wastewater treatment plants, requiring significant environmental and economic burdens for its management disposal. Recently, solar drying processes, often performed through greenhouses, received interest due to their limited energy requirement renewable exploitation. The dried shows volume mass reductions, reducing transportation disposal costs. However, physicochemical microbiological characteristics must be properly assessed, especially if agricultural reuse final destination, possible accumulation (micro)pollutants in soil. This review depicts state-of-the-art processes sewage sludge, with a focus on technological aspects quality. discusses greenhouse-specific features, composition (organic matter, pathogens, heavy metals emerging pollutants) conditions (seasonality, ventilation, mixing thickness, speed). connected are presented. limitations this technology discussed as well, including applicability wet issues greenhouse structure degradation. A wider application recommended increase sustainability small medium areas high amounts radiation dry weather conditions, while thermal still appears preferable large plants. More agronomic studies conducted assess pollutant crops, alternative uses (e.g., recovery incineration, pyrolysis or gasification; utilization construction materials) should explored, also using life cycle assessment.
