“…One of promising approaches of reducing energy consumption and related energy costs is energy management (Schulze, Nehler, Ottosson, & Thollander, 2016). Some types of organic solid waste can be classified as biomass and their use instead of disposal can facilitate energy recovery and lower toxic gas emission compared to commercial fossil fuels (Virmond et al, 2011). In order to avoid transfer of potential diseases (such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy e BSE) from waste, their combustion becomes a favourable solution (de Sena et al, 2008).…”

“…The usage of abattoir wastes as secondary fuel through thermal recycling in power plants has been reported to be achievable [73]. In spite of this, cattle manure, poultry litter and pig waste are also important for biogas and electric power production [74] while solid waste generated from abattoirs and meat processing is used as fuel in the cyclonic combustor [75].…”

Abstract:The consumption of animal by-products has continued to witness tremendous growth over the last decade. This is due to its potential to combat protein malnutrition and food insecurity in many countries. Shortly after slaughter, animal by-products are separated into edible or inedible parts. The edible part accounts for 55% of the production while the remaining part is regarded as inedible by-products (IEBPs). These IEBPs can be re-processed into sustainable products for agricultural and industrial uses. The efficient utilization of animal by-products can alleviate the prevailing cost and scarcity of feed materials, which have high competition between animals and humans. This will also aid in reducing environmental pollution in the society. In this regard, proper utilization of animal by-products such as rumen digesta can result in cheaper feed, reduction in competition and lower cost of production. Over the years, the utilization of animal by-products such as rumen digesta as feed in livestock feed has been successfully carried out without any adverse effect on the animals. However, there are emerging gaps that need to be further addressed regarding the food security and sustainability of the products. Therefore, the objective of this review highlights the efficacy and effectiveness of using animal by-products as alternative sources of feed ingredients, and the constraints associated with their production to boost livestock performance in the industry at large.

“…Another option is to use the already installed oil infrastructure to process the biooil mixed with the fossil fuel equivalent. (Rocha, 2008, modified) Among the thermochemical biomass conversion routes, combustion constitutes a well-established technology which has been applied to biomass residues for thermal energy generation (e.g., Floriani et al, 2010;Virmond et al, 2010Virmond et al, , 2011, but biomass pyrolysis and gasification have attracted the highest interest as they can potentially offer higher efficiencies compared to combustion.…”

-Besides high industrial development, Brazil is also an agribusiness country. Each year about 330 million metrics tons (Mg) of biomass residues are generated, requiring tremendous effort to develop biomass systems in which production, conversion and utilization of bio-based products are carried out efficiently and under environmentally sustainable conditions. For the production of biofuels, organic chemicals and materials, it is envisaged to follow a biorefinery model which includes modern and proven green chemical technologies such as bioprocessing, pyrolysis, gasification, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and other catalytic processes in order to make more complex molecules and materials on which a future sustainable society will be based. This paper presents promising options for valorization of Brazilian agroindustrial biomass sources and residues originating from the biofuel production chains as renewable energy sources and addresses the main aspects of the thermochemical technologies which have been applied.
