Realizing integrated biorefineries producing multiple fuels, chemicals and materials from sustainable biomass feedstocks holds promise for transitioning industries onto low-carbon trajectories. However, widespread commercial implementation remains elusive despite two decades of technological advancements. This review synthesizes current literature to provide a comprehensive analysis key multi-dimensional barriers inhibiting the scale-up biorefineries. The discusses technical challenges around conversion processes. Economic viability concerns such as high capital costs lack market competitiveness are also assessed. evaluates regulatory policy complexities that poses risks uncertainties in scaling up Socio-political acceptance hurdles including community engagement public perception reviewed. interconnected nature these is emphasized strategies recommended enable full potential realization, covering areas enhanced stakeholder collaboration, advanced process intensification, supportive frameworks, innovative financing models strategic marketing initiatives. International pilots cross-sectoral knowledge exchange highlighted priority enablers. In conclusion, this insights extensive demonstration efforts identify priorities pathways accelerating global transition towards biorefinery implementation. It aims inform decision-making collaborative actions amongst stakeholders research, industry domains.

Biorefinery products from algal biomass by advanced biotechnological and hydrothermal liquefaction approaches

Deleted Journal, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 6(4)

Опубликована: Март 19, 2024

Abstract Algal biomass is a promising feedstock for the environmentally friendly production of diverse range high-value products, including bioproducts and biofuels. After extracting essential macro- biomolecules, remaining algae can be used as processed into valuable additional goods. Advanced biotechnology techniques efficient hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technologies are to produce beneficial products such bioenergy biochemicals. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins biochemical components algal that biofuel. Hence, gaining popularity biorefinery alternative. HTL process converting liquid byproduct by intricate chemical reactions. The purpose this review highlight modern biotechnological biological from algae. A large number documents were reviewed analytically structured lay groundwork subsequent steps. This also included information on simple reaction mechanism produce, well impact parameters.

Thermogravimetric analysis of gasification and pyrolysis of algae biomass

E3S Web of Conferences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 498, С. 02002 - 02002

In the present paper, case of brown algae Saccharina japonica from Aniva Bay (Sea Okhotsk, Sakhalin Island) was investigated by a thermogravimetric analysis up to 700°C at different atmospheres. The elemental composition, lower heating value, ash content, and biochar yield were examined. showed that carbohydrates like alginate, mannitol, fucoidan, laminarin decomposed between 250-350°C, while proteins lipids burned out 500-550°C.

A Critical Review of Macroalgae Exploitation Pathways Implemented under the Scope of Life Cycle Assessment

ChemEngineering, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 8(4), С. 74 - 74

Опубликована: Июль 25, 2024

Under the umbrella of Blue Economy, research interest is focused on harnessing potential macroalgae biomass, known as third-generation feedstock, from which multiple products can be extracted. As many these exploitation pathways are not yet feasible for large-scale implementation, a significant number publications adopt LCA tool to assess sustainability proposed value chains. However, complexity such systems and broad spectrum alternative routes render vague perspective applications. This study provides critical review previous employing evaluate different utilization. Ethanol, energy (biogas), nutrition were found among most studied outputs in past ten years an perspective. Different leading mapped analyzed, documenting their points proposing measures mitigate environmental impact. A thorough SWOT analysis compiles first time scattered information available literature, giving insights into current state use motives further research. Insufficient or outdated inventory data LCA, coupled with technical technological struggles, main barriers
