Thermochemical and biochemical conversion of agricultural waste for bioenergy production: an updated review

Discover Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 2(1)

Опубликована: Ноя. 27, 2024

The rapid increase in global energy demand and the depletion of fossil fuels highlight importance biomass as a renewable source. Biomass, especially agricultural by-products rich hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, offers sustainable alternative for producing value-added products. generation power, heat, biofuels from has gained increasing significance today's landscape. This review explores potential advanced conversion technologies, with focus on thermochemical biochemical processes key methods optimizing waste management strategies. It examines these technologies converting wastes into bioenergy, such biogas, syngas, bio-oil, biochar, digestate, while detailing their operational parameters, technological principles, implementation prospects. While biological are limited by long processing times low yields, challenged high costs temperature requirements. also compares advantages challenges each method to assess overall effectiveness suitability. Further research feedstock pretreatment, catalyst development, system optimization is essential advancing biofuel production.

Coupling Waste Feedstocks to Microbial Protein Production in a Circular Food System

ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 2, 2025

Global food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and land use. As an alternative conventional agriculture, the of waste-derived microbial protein (MP) holds promise for reducing environmental impacts. MP can be mass-produced in volumetrically scalable fermentation processes on short time scales, enabling facile scale-up with lower use, impacts than animal and, some cases, plant protein. also produced from waste feedstocks, diverting landfills or natural environment. This Perspective explores availability suitability feedstocks production, suggesting that generated United States could fulfill twice current national demand. We discuss biotechnological separations required produce food-grade human consumption waste. Key challenges include consistency, consumer regulatory acceptance, process utilities (electricity, heat, nutrients) account up 85% costs most impacts, all which present opportunities innovation microbiology design spaces. Overall, this work highlights potential contribute more circular, resilient, sustainable system.

Transforming Agricultural Food Waste Into Bioplastics: Methods, Potential, and Technological Advances

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 19, 2025

Abstract The improper disposal of agricultural food waste (AFW) and its associated plastic packaging significantly exacerbates environmental degradation, including pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, loss valuable resources, while imposing substantial economic burdens. These pressing challenges have spurred advancements in bioplastics as sustainable eco‐friendly alternatives to conventional plastics. Here, the potential AFW, rich biopolymers such starch cellulose, a renewable feedstock is examined for polylactic acid, polybutylene succinate, polyhydroxyalkanoates. It explores characteristics these bioplastics, focusing on production techniques extraction‐based processes, microbial fermentation, fermentation combined with polymerization, synthesis from volatile fatty acids. Additionally, role AFW pretreatment methods, physical, chemical, biological, enzymatic approaches, enhancing conversion efficiency analyzed. it highlighted that recent bioplastic improved efficiency, biodegradability, scalability, offering viable substitute traditional findings demonstrate valorizing not only addresses but also promotes sustainability circular economy principles, paving way greener industries reduced ecological impact.

Comparative Potential of Biogas Production from The Distillery, Fruit and Vegetable Waste and Their Mixtures (Digestion)

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(2), С. e42068 - e42068

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Biogas is becoming increasingly important as a renewable energy source in the face of global warming and declining fossil fuel reserves. produced by anaerobic digestion organic materials which can be available from various wastes such agro-industrial, human, fruit waste, distillery, animal waste aquatic plants. This study deals particularly with comparative potential biogas production vegetable their mixtures (digestion). The used feed this research were distillery dark-colored liquid Desta Alcohol Liquor Factory Private Limited Company. Fruit banana peels, papaya, mango, tomato, avocado, cabbage leaves, watermelon skin, orange skin collected juice houses wholesale markets Mekelle City, Cow manure buffer solution, PLC. Waste samples characterized for total solids, volatile pH, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical demand according to established standards. was analyzed using analyzer, an ORSAT apparatus CO2, TUTWILER H2S. Finally, %CH4 calculated 100 % ignoring other gases. maximum all observed at 37 °C. Mixture (co-digestion) high litter (L): 6.95, 9.47 9.54 20 °C, °C 50 respectively. methane composition co-digestion (M) (%) 67, 70 70.3 Methane yield both temperature substrates (waste). Comparatively, mixture(digestion); 0.032, 0.061 0.079 L per gram solids (LCH4/gVS)
