“…To be included, supply chains must: utilize a UK domestic feedstock; the biomass types must cover a range of spatial distributions; similar supply chains should be mentioned in industrial and governmental reports; must use a mixture of carbon capture technologies; must cover a range of different types of BECCS; and one must generate hydrogen fuel. Based on a literature search, the following three supply chains met all of the criteria and have been used in this analysis (Muresan et al, 2013;Moreira et al, 2016;Mendiara et al, 2018;Pour et al, 2018;Tagomori et al, 2019;Agrawal and Rao, 2020;Emenike et al, 2020;Ghiat et al, 2020;Patzschke et al, 2020;García-Freites et al, 2021):…”

This paper explores the implications of siting a bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) facility to carbon emission performances for three case-study supply chains using the Carbon Navigation System (CNS) model. The three case-study supply chains are a wheat straw derived BECCS-power, a municipal solid waste derived BECCS-waste-to-energy and a sawmill residue derived BECCS-hydrogen. A BECCS facility needs to be carefully sited, taking into consideration its local low carbon infrastructure, available biomass and geography for successful deployment and achieving a favorable net-negative carbon balance. On average, across the three supply chains a 10 km shift in the siting of the BECCS facility results in an 8.6–13.1% increase in spatially explicit supply chain emissions. BECCS facilities producing low purity CO2 at high yields have lower spatial emissions when located within the industrial clusters, while those producing high purity CO2 at low yields perform better outside the clusters. A map is also generated identifying which of the three modeled supply chains delivers the lowest spatially explicit supply chain emission options for any given area of the UK at a 1 MtCO2/yr capture scale.

“…The OCM reactor feeds CH 4 and a combination of O 2 and vapor phase moist H 2 O 2 . The O 2 is produced in a solar powered air separation plant [23] that enjoys the energy and economic savings from chemical looping instead of cryogenic separation [24,25]. Aqueous H 2 O 2 is produced by the solar powered catalyzed reaction of O 2 and acidic liquid H 2 O [20].…”

The catalytic activation of CH4 by limited amounts of O2 produces a mixture of synthesis gas (CO, H2) and light hydrocarbons (C2Hx), the relative amounts of each depending on catalyst type and process conditions. Using an elementary reaction mechanism for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) on a La2O3/CeO2 catalyst derived from the literature, this study replaces the activating O2 with moist H2O2 vapor to reduce synthesis gas production while improving C2Hx yields and selectivities. As the H2O2 content of the activating oxidant rises, more of the CH4 conversion occurs in the gas phase instead of with the catalytic surface. In a packed bed reactor (PBR), the use of H2O2 allows the PBR “light-off” to occur using a lower feed temperature. In exchange for a small decline in CH4 conversion, C2Hx selectivity increases while synthesis gas production drops. In a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), H2O2 improves C2Hx over synthesis gas across a wider range of feed temperatures than is possible with the PBR. This suggests the CSTR will likely reduce OCM preheating requirements.

“…The action plan of the bioeconomy strategy 'Innovating for Sustainable Growth' issued by the EU in 2012 prioritized investment in research and innovation over specific actions to improve knowledge on the availability and potential of AWB for manufacturing high-value-added products (European Commission, 2012). The new bioeconomy strategy 'strengthen ing the connection between economy, society and the environ ment' (2018) also prioritizes Research and Innovation for the deployment of innovative solutions for the production of new and sustainable bio-based products (European Commission, 2018) Recent research shows that an enormous amount of AWB is produced annually worldwide (~4 billion tonnes/year), representing a favourable outlook in terms of utilization and valorization (Patzschke et al, 2020).

Sustainable and circular agro-environmental practices: A review of the management of agricultural waste biomass in Spain and the Czech Republic

Sustainable and circular production models, such as the circular economy and circular bioeconomy, have become key mechanisms to leave behind the traditional linear model of food production. Under this approach and considering the waste biomass potential available in Spain and the Czech Republic, the main objective of this study is to analyse the most relevant aspects of the generation, use and regulation of agricultural waste biomass (AWB) in both countries. For this purpose, a scientometric analysis and systematic review of published research in the Scopus database were carried out. A complementary analysis of AWB management policies and regulations was also part of the methodology. The results show that Spain has published almost twice as much research as the Czech Republic. Furthermore, 91% of the retrieved research prioritizes the characterization and estimation of the potential of more than 15 AWB types. Among the main ones are olive residues, horticultural residues and wheat straw, which are used for producing organic amendments, bioenergy and biofuels. The results confirm that the reduction and valorization of AWB is an issue that has become more important in the last 13 years, mainly due to the policies and strategies for circular economy and circular bioeconomy. With this in mind, this study provides relevant information for governments on the aspects that need to be improved to advance in the valorization of AWB. This study also provides guidance to farmers on the reduction and/or recovery alternatives that they can implement to move towards sustainable and circular agriculture.
