Bioenergy production side-streams availability assessment as decision making driver for sustainable valorisation technologies development. Case study: Bioethanol and biodiesel industries

Valorizing Biodiesel and Bioethanol Side-Streams: Sustainability Potential Assessment through a Multicriteria Decision Analysis Framework and Appraisal of Valuable Compound Recovery Prospects

“…In order to properly address and assess all aspects and dimensions that conform sustainability, circular bioeconomy and scale-up target, environmental, economic, and technical issues have been considered. This approach is aligned with recent publications about sustainability assessment [15,16].…”

Building and Evaluating Prospective Scenarios for Corn-based Biorefineries

“…Biore neries therefore play an important role in the research, development and innovation agenda and fall into the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the efforts of which are focused on the universal production of accessible, reliable and clean energy (Aragonés et al, 2022;Griggs et al, 2013). However, to reach the SDGs, new basic research concepts such as planning tools and scenario modeling are required in order to identify future opportunities, anticipating technological advancement and driving decision-making and new innovation strategies (Bleischwitz et al, 2018).…”

“…Of these, bioethanol is used most intensively on a global scale, with production projections at 132 billion liters by 2030, of which 60% is expected to be produced from corn (OCDE/FAO, 2021;Avanthi and Banerjee, 2016).Corn is an energy providing and versatile cereal and represents the second most abundant crop annuly in the world. There is also great potential for corn to be converted into bio els and bioproducts, thus favoring an increase in energy security as well as environmental and social quality, primarily in integrated systems such as biore neries (Althuri e Mohan, 2022;Momenitabar et al, 2022).Biore neries therefore play an important role in the research, development and innovation agenda and fall into the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the efforts of which are focused on the universal production of accessible, reliable and clean energy (Aragonés et al, 2022;Griggs et al, 2013).
