India’s rapidly growing automobile industry has intensified the need for sustainable fuel alternatives to reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study examines the potential of second-genera...
This study explores the extraction and utilization of tannins from Acacia sp. bark residues for water treatment applications. As a by-product of forest management, Acacia sp. bark is valorized through tannin-based coagulant production, contributing t...
The energy crisis has highlighted the need for a significant change in Kosovo’s lignite-based electrical energy system, particularly greater investments in renewable energy sources. These sources would provide greater price stability, centraliz...
China has abundant biomass and renewable energy resources suitable for producing green methanol via biomass thermochemical conversion. Given China’s increasing demand for sustainable fuel alternatives and the urgency to reduce carbon emissions,...
Cotton biomass residues consist of an important portion of the agricultural byproducts. In this work, we systematically analyzed and compared the morphology and thermal properties of nine cotton biomass byproducts. The unique tubular and/or porous mo...
Microalgae have emerged as a valuable source of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds, such as proteins, polyphenols, and polysaccharides, which are critical for overall health. Recent research has demonstrated the therapeutic potential of micr...
Decentralized energy generation by renewable fuels is an alternative to energy dependency and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, with biogas emerging as a promising option. Brazil, as the second largest ethanol producer, generates several by-prod...
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology has garnered immense research interest due to its potential to convert wet biomass into petroleum-like biocrude. Understanding the reaction mechanism and kinetics of HTL is crucial for understanding the proc...
As the raw material transition from fossil to renewable feedstock progresses, the demand for biogenic raw materials for industrial purposes will increase. This applies above all to the energy and chemical sectors. However, the capacities for biogenic...
Brown seaweed could be a viable option for biogas production, with the added advantage of not competing with land-based crops, which negates the food vs. fuel argument. To optimise the process, this research investigates using mechanical and chemical...
Oil and biodiesel produced from lipidic microorganisms are gaining attention in the scientific area. However, intracellular oil needs additional steps for its recovery for transesterification, which generally uses catalysts. In this context, thermal...
Soil fertilization with fertilizers derived from renewable sources is a topic of great interest in terms of the sustainable management of organic waste. To optimize the management of nitrogen supplied to the soil with digestates, it is necessary to d...
Achieving “Zero Hunger” (SDG 2) requires overcoming complex challenges, especially in vulnerable communities in developing countries. Livestock plays a key role in food security, but limited resources threaten productivity, prompting inte...
Carrots, scientifically known as Daucus carota L., are among the most popular and widely consumed vegetables. They are used for cooking and juice production, both industrially and in households, resulting in large amounts of waste each year, mainly f...
Natural resources are currently overexploited to provide food supply for the ever-increasing world population, and because of the intensification of agricultural and food production, there is a growing rate of waste generation. This waste biomass is...
This study examines the influence of biomass burning on the organic content of urban aerosols in Zagreb, Croatia, by analyzing anhydrosugars, elemental carbon (EC), organic carbon (OC), and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) in PM2.5 and PM1 fractio...
