Biomass to Energy — an Analysis of Current Technologies, Prospects, and Challenges

Bioenergy relations with agriculture, forestry and other land uses: Highlighting the specific contributions of artificial intelligence and co-citation networks

“…In fact, the variability of bio-resources used in the production of bioenergy brings added difficulties for the supply chains [ 20 ]. Additionally, the bioenergy conversion structures still need more technological advances, namely to overcome economic constraints [ 21 ]. Technical and political changes are also needed in some circumstances [ 22 ].…”

A review on waste biomass-to-energy: integrated thermochemical and biochemical conversion for resource recovery

“…These are effective methods available to safely dispose of waste biomass and maximize its economic value. Through the use of scientific methods, these technologies can reduce the reliance on non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels by converting biomass into alternative fuels (53). All the conversion technologies that have been discussed previously have inherent limitations, regardless of their scientific approach (54).…”

“…However, biochemical conversion processes have limitations, as they primarily utilize cellulose and hemicellulose components of biomass and tend to be time-consuming. The key challenges for biochemical conversion include the considerable cost and difficulty involved in breaking down the tough, complex structures of the cell walls in cellulosic biomass (53). Another key challenge is to more efficiently convert the sugars into biofuels and purify them.…”
