Cost-effectiveness of small scale biomass supply chain and bioenergy production systems in carbon credit markets: A life cycle perspective

Heavy metal ion detection using green precursor derived carbon dots

“…Although the synthesis of CDs from renewable bio-sources has its own challenges, it has been a desirable approach ( De and Karak, 2013 ), because of several advantages, like sustainability, low cost, added value to waste, pollution-free materials, and green preparation methods ( Liu et al., 2019c ; Liu et al., 2019b ; Singh et al., 2019 ; Yu et al., 2019 ; Ahmadi et al., 2020 ; Boruah et al., 2020 ; Wang et al., 2020a ; Liu et al., 2020a ; Lu et al., 2020 ; Das et al., 2021 ; Ding et al., 2021 ; Lou et al., 2021 ). Moreover, biomass-derived nanomaterials exhibit excellent water solubility, nontoxicity, and good biocompatibility ( Wang et al., 2020b ; Luo et al., 2021 ; Krishnaiah et al., 2022 ).…”

Technological appropriateness of biomass production in rural settings: Addressing water hyacinths (E. crassipes) problem in Lake Tondano, Indonesia

“…[82,83]) treatments, yet they may not be desirable in rural settings because they often are ineffective, possibly prohibited, or simply not feasible in constrained rural circumstances. To overcome critical issues as such, establishing BSC in a rural context must consider the appropriateness of biomass production technologies applied in certain stages of the BSC, ensuring the impacts of the critical process(es) within the supply chain to communities living around a biomass source [78,84]. Particularly, designing BSC in a rural context shall consider the technological appropriateness at three different tiers, which include basic, environmental, and social appropriateness [58,85].…”

Valorization of Biomass Power Generation System: Noble Use of Combustion and Integration with Energy Storage

“…It was reported that the overall energy efficiency including electricity and heat is in the range of 43%–97% depending on the plant size and conditions. A life-cycle assessment (LCA) of biomass power generation has also been conducted. ,− Ahmadi et al reported that all biobased pathways performed well based on the carbon offsetting potential and that the emission mitigation is expected by using bioenergy to power generation for small off-grid communities. Eksi and Karaosmanoglu and Alanya-Rosenbaum and Bergman et al reported that the global warming potential (GWP) of a biomass CHP plant highly depended on the moisture content of raw biomass and drying processes.…”
