“…A number of references quantify reductions in GHG emissions, including the contribution from emissions that are avoided by AD of the feedstocks. In [71] the potential for the use of farm animal waste and agricultural residues to produce biomethane to generate green electricity is reported, the authors conclude that a reduction of 0.6% of annual emissions could be achieved, avoiding emissions of~4096 kt CO 2 e/yr from decomposition of agricultural waste. Anaerobic digestion of waste from olive oil production is considered in [72].…”

Decarbonising heavy-duty trucks is challenging due to high journey power and energy requirements. With a growing fleet of commercial vehicles in the UK, biomethane can provide significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to fossil diesel. Methane is a potent GHG with a global warming potential (GWP) of 23–36, therefore reducing levels in the atmosphere can have a significant impact on climate change. There are a range of anthropogenic sources of methane that could be collected and processed to provide sustainable energy (upcycled), e.g., agricultural waste and the waste water system. This paper explores the impact of using upcycled methane in transport in South East England, evaluating local sources of anthropogenic methane and the environmental and economic impact of its use for a heavy-duty truck compared to fossil and battery electric alternatives. Analysis concludes that the use of upcycled methane in transport can provide significant reductions in lifecycle GHG emissions compared to diesel, fossil natural gas or battery electric trucks, and give net negative GHG emissions where avoided environmental methane emissions are considered. Furthermore, upcycling solutions can offer a lower cost route to GHG reduction compared to electrification.

“…2 Biomass energy is also quite flexible enough to be used for the production of various biofuels, electricity, and heat. 3 From the late 1900s, biogas, a biomass-based renewable energy has been used to meet energy demands. 4 Biogas consists of methane (CH 4 : 50-70% v/v), carbon dioxide (CO 2 : 30-50% v/v), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), moisture, and trace amounts of other contaminant gases.…”

The present study evaluated the potential of a self‐resilient rural bio‐energy model using a case study from a village in Uttar Pradesh, India. A total biogas potential of 400 329 m3/year was estimated from area using agricultural residues and livestock wastes, thus capable of establishing biogas plants in a centralized (20 to 100 m3) or decentralized (2 to 20 m3) manner. For the three scenarios were considered in this study, i.e., (I) combined electricity and thermal energy generation, (II) for direct cooking, and (III) according to energy requirements, a maximum electricity generation and thermal energy potential were estimated to up to 800 658 and 1 200 988 kWh. A maximum amount of 162 646 kg.year–1 of firewood, 443 190 kg.year–1 of dung cake, 70 996 kg.year–1 of charcoal and 13 713 kg of liquified petroleum gas could be replaced using produced raw biogas, which is even higher if the biogas is upgraded. In the third scenario, a maximum surplus amount of 169 894 m3.year–1 of raw biogas and 221 969 m3.year–1 of upgraded biogas are available if all the available wastes are co‐digested. Vast cost opportunities and greenhouse gas emission reduction could result from replacing conventional cooking fuel and chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizer, contributing to the local circular economy. Eventually, the study proposes and discusses a self‐resilient bio‐energy model comprising energy demand fulfillment, sustainability, and a circular economy for rural India. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…In recent years, biodiesel has gained growing attention from various researchers due to its sustainability, low pollution combustion, and non-toxicity [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Biodiesel produced by animal fats and waste oils are highly potential to be mixed with the diesel fuel [1,[12][13][14][15][16][17]. The reason lies in the fact that such raw materials are not only in competition with the food industry, but also result in a global reduction of agriculture wastes through the reuse of wastes [18].…”
