In the case of agricultural waste biomass, residues like crop stalks, husks, and shells undergo thermal decomposition at temperatures typically between 300°C and 700°C. ...
In the realm of sustainable biomass utilization, the production of charcoal from agricultural waste biomass offers a multitude of benefits. ...
This section explores how the process contributes to carbon sequestration, mitigating the carbon footprint while fostering sustainable agriculture practices. Economic Empowerment through Agricultural Waste Valorization Beyond environmental benefits, there's a tangible economic impact. This subheading delves into how valorizing ...
However, the untold story, is there are also millions of tons of leftover biomass waste from nearly every crop planted. The seeds from avocados, cherries, and olives for the husks from rice, corn, and wheat, all that waste has to be handled somehow. ...
The European Biogas Association (EBA) and the “Gas Infrastructure Europe” (GIE) have just published the second edition of the “European Biomethane Map” which collects all information relating to new and existing biomethane plants for the year 2020. Analysis of the data collected shows that the number of biomethane plants in Europe has increased by 51% in 2 years, from 483 ...
The raw material for the recycling process is biomass (agricultural and other biological waste). Biochar origins (Terra Preta) Spain сonquistadors were the first who noticed the fertile soil of the Amazon basin area in XVI century. ...
There is a close quality relationship between the harmful levels of all three drought indicator groups (meteorological, hydrological and agricultural). However, the numerical scale of the relationships between them is unclear and the conversion of indicators is unsolved. Different areas or an area with different forms of drought cannot be compared. For example, from the evaluation of ...
Agricultural waste biomass generated from agricultural production and food processing industry are abundant, such as durian peel, mango peel, corn straw, rice bran, corn shell, potato peel and many more. ...
Industrial biotechnology is an emerging industry in which firms are developing novel alternatives to petroleum–based goods. Canadian–based firms have an opportunity to capitalise on the availability of biomass from Canadian agriculture and Canada's broad resource base. However, complexity of the product development process coupled with immaturity of this industry means little is currently known ...
This paper tries to compare the environmental impacts of energy production using agricultural biomass and energy production using traditional reactor systems (natural gas and fuel oil) by using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. In order to make this comparison, the impact assessment methods CML 2 BASELINE 2000 (problem oriented method) and ECOINDICATOR 99 (damage oriented method) are ...
Biotransformation of lignin is related to the biomass utilisation of agricultural wastes. Ligninolytic enzyme from Phanerochaete chrysosporium plays an important role in biodegrading lignin and is specially concerned by researchers. The aim of the study is to optimise the conditions for producing ligninolytic enzymes in solid-state fermentation, ...
There is scope internationally to utilise surplus and degraded agricultural land for biomass crops that might also be environmentally beneficial. For example, dryland salinity in southern Australian could be ameliorated using profitable woody biomass crops. A model was developed to predict biomass production from such woody crops. At a biomass price of A$35/t (green) and a water use efficiency of ...
