“…By applying the search terms driver and barrier in combination with terms referring to the CBE, we received 286 results from the Web of Science database. We first scanned the titles and identified 28 studies as potentially relevant, from which we then read the abstracts to finally select 22 relevant peer-reviewed journal publications [10,17,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].

The Circular Bioeconomy (CBE) combines the concepts of bioeconomy and a circular economy. As an alternative concept to the current fossil-based, linear economy, it describes an economy based on the efficient valorization of biomass. It is regional in nature and aims to improve sustainability. An analysis of the transition process, by identifying its success criteria and assessing its impacts through the modeling of technology-specific scenarios, is necessary to ensure that CBE concepts are sustainable. However, a comprehensive consideration of regional influences on both is lacking. Based on extensive literature research and an expert survey, we develop a multi-criteria approach where we (i) present a comprehensive catalog of CBE success criteria and discuss their region-specific characters and (ii) develop a methodology based on evaluation matrices that enable CBE technologies to be matched with regions. The matrices support the evaluation of technological and regional characteristics influencing successful CBE implementation. The results show that the success criteria “biomass resources”, “technological”, and “social” are perceived as highly important, and that most of the success criteria are both region- and technology-specific, highlighting the relevance of developing matrices to match them. We describe such matrices indicatively for the two broadest and most important success criteria clusters “social acceptance” and “biomass supply chain”. With this, we substantiate the regional nature of CBE and raise the awareness on the importance of considering regional conditions in CBE transition processes. Furthermore, we provide practical guidance on how regional conditions can be reflected in the selection of technologies, e.g., in regional CBE technology scenarios.

“…The expanded four generations or categories of raw materials and biomass waste/by-products for bioenergy is a strategy to avoid compromises with the equally essential food and fiber products. Particularly, the second (crop residues) and the third (algae) generations/categories of bioenergy raw materials are promoted to resolve the competition issue among food, fiber and bioenergy in resource use (Agustina et al, 2018;Erdiwansyah et al, 2019;Lau, 2022;Yadav et al, 2022).These generations/categories of raw materials exhibit potential value addition and smart use of biomass wastes/by-products (Yadav et al, 2022). For the biomass waste, the added value is formed by the reusability of the biomass that is normally left to rot in the field after harvest operations.…”

“…For the biomass waste, the added value is formed by the reusability of the biomass that is normally left to rot in the field after harvest operations. When used as feedstocks, biomass waste is valorized to produce bioenergy without compromising the food and fiber industry, forest conservation, air and soil quality, and environmental commitments (Du et al, 2016; Yadav et al, 2022).…”

Association of Southeast Asian Economies (ASEAN's) logistical concerns and support for bioenergy production from biomass waste are consolidated to discuss the updates and the areas needing modification/improvement to sustain the increasing trend of bioenergy production and consumption amidst food security and other ecological issues in the region. A systematic narrative review was conducted to address the current information scarcity on bioenergy logistics and discuss methods for moving forward. Regardless, the biofuels supply chain primarily supports biofuels and has numerous logistical concerns, including feedstock, conversion, and generation. The ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation has coordinated the ASEAN's present bioenergy development that shows slow yet determined steps. As a result of policies and mandates, bioenergy production has progressed steadily, as well as a continuous improvement of current energy logistics (mostly fossil fuel‐based) to increase biofuel deployment. The current logistics for bioenergy is still lacking and technologically ill‐equipped, with significant inefficiency and sub‐optimality issues. Huge support to re‐engineer and retool bioenergy logistics is necessary to make bioenergy competitive with fossil fuels in ASEAN countries with varying economic and modernization status. Regional cooperation is key in developing an efficient and optimal logistical system for bioenergy in ASEAN, which needs to be supported with intensified R&D, smart solutions, green financing, incentive system, risk management, and policy frameworks. Green logistics is advocated to push forward decarbonizing the future across the ASEAN region with bioenergy.This article is categorized under: Sustainable Energy > Bioenergy Climate and Environment > Net Zero Planning and Decarbonization Sustainable Development > Goals Climate and Environment > Circular Economy

“…Anaerobic fermentation of organic materials produces biogas, and the technologies required to achieve this are renewable, readily available, abundant, and inexpensive. Thousands of biogas plants are operational in many developing countries (Ali et al, 2022;Seyitoglu et al, 2022;Yadav et al, 2022;Tavera-Ruiz et al, 2023). However, the further widespread production and use of biogas is primarily dependent on the availability of cheap/ inexpensive and suitable designs of plants that are constructed by using locally or easily available materials and techniques.…”

Decentralized energy generation systems based on renewable sources have significant potential to assist in the sustainable development of developing countries. The small-scale integration of hybrid renewable energy systems in off-grid communities has not been thoroughly researched. The primary objective is to develop a preliminary design for a PV/biogas hybrid system that can meet the energy needs of an off-grid community center. A survey was conducted to calculate the energy demands of an off-grid community center and a hybrid renewable system has been designed to supply the electricity. The optimum designed system is evaluated by the PVSYST simulation software and SuperPro Designer software. The annual production of the PV system is 34428 kWh/year, specific production is 1118 kWh/kWp/year, and the performance ratio is 81.72%. All the factors that contribute to energy loss are considered in designing a PV system. The average operating efficiency of the inverter is 92.6%, and global inverter losses are 2752.4 kWh. The biogas simulation findings show an adequate match with the composition of conventional biogas and contains 89.64% methane and 5.99% carbon dioxide content. Two sensitivity analyses of biogas based on hydraulic retention time and moisture content have been performed. Measurements readings of hourly data are used to analyse the performance of PV, biogas system as well as the hybrid system performance. At day time, the maximum power generation of the hybrid PV/Biogas and the maximum load demand of the community at that time are 25.2 kW and 24.31 kW, respectively. At night time, the maximum power generation of the hybrid system and the maximum load demand are 9 kW and 8.3 kW, respectively. The power factor (PF) of the system fluctuates between 0.92 and 0.98 and the frequency of the system is constant at 50 HZ.
