“…In addition to IPCC, of the pyrolysis studies reviewed, 23% applied CML and ReCiPe in European (e.g., Spain, France, Belgium, Norway, Sweden) and Asian countries (e.g., China, Iran, India) (Figure b and Table S10). − The environmental impact analysis studies that applied GREET and TRACI were 17% of the pyrolysis studies reviewed and were applied in the USA (Figure b and Table S10). − These studies (with agricultural and forestry residue as feedstocks) further utilized NPV, IRR, and MSP to conduct LCCA/TEA for economic impact analysis, which were 25% of the LCA and LCCA/TEA studies for pyrolysis (Figure b and Table S10).…”

Municipal and agricultural organic waste can be treated to recover energy, nutrients, and carbon through resource recovery and carbon capture (RRCC) technologies such as anaerobic digestion, struvite precipitation, and pyrolysis. Data science could benefit such technologies by improving their efficiency through data-driven process modeling along with reducing environmental and economic burdens via life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA), respectively. We critically reviewed 616 peer-reviewed articles on the use of data science in RRCC published during 2002−2022. Although applications of machine learning (ML) methods have drastically increased over time for modeling RRCC technologies, the reviewed studies exhibited significant knowledge gaps at various model development stages. In terms of sustainability, an increasing number of studies included LCA with TEA to quantify both environmental and economic impacts of RRCC. Integration of ML methods with LCA and TEA has the potential to costeffectively investigate the trade-off between efficiency and sustainability of RRCC, although the literature lacked such integration of techniques. Therefore, we propose an integrated data science framework to inform efficient and sustainable RRCC from organic waste based on the review. Overall, the findings from this review can inform practitioners about the effective utilization of various data science methods for real-world implementation of RRCC technologies.

“…The effect of the POCP is evaluated by ethane equivalent emissions. 150 Most studies indicate that copyrolysis is economically feasible and environmentally friendly. The benefits of commercial-scale copyrolysis are mainly related to the quality and price of bio-oil and the cost of raw material procurement, while the impact on environment is mainly related to blending ratio of feedstock.…”

“…When the water content of raw materials increased from 60% to 80%, the LCA performance in all aspects increased by 75%−120%. Neha et al 150 performed LCA for commercial-scale copyrolysis of biomass and plastics without considering indirect costs such as lighting and equipment maintenance. The feedstock consisted of 13% PE and 87% food residues, and the feeding rate was 100 kg/d.…”

Pyrolysis is one of the substantial thermal conversion technologies for high-value reutilization of biomass and organic solid waste (OSW). Adding some typical OSWs to biomass pyrolysis can achieve directional regulation of target products that are considered potential alternatives to fossil energy. Understanding copyrolysis behaviors is vital for the optimizing pyrolysis process to minimize environmental pollution and efficiently utilize biomass and OSW. However, there is no overall review on the copyrolysis of biomass and various OSWs. This paper reviews and discusses recent advances in the copyrolysis mechanism, thermal−chemical processes of some typical OSWs and biomass, and effects of chemical compositions of raw materials and pyrolysis parameters on thermal−chemical conversion behaviors, synergistic effect, and copyrolysis product characteristics. Recent reports show that the synergistic effect in copyrolysis effectively improves the quality of bio-oil and biochar. Moreover, adding OSW to biomass pyrolysis can promote the secondary reaction of pyrolysis intermediates. The reaction mechanism and relative numerical simulation work of copyrolysis are summarized. Finally, the current challenges to energy-and environment-oriented conversion of biomass and OSW are discussed, and perspectives for further developing the copyrolysis process are highlighted. This paper provides valuable information for optimizing sustainable copyrolysis processes of OSW and biomass and improving the efficiency and selectivity of recycled OSW.

This review tackles the challenges of worldwide waste management, focusing on renewable and sustainable fuels and waste recycling through the exploration of co‐pyrolysis as an innovative method. It explores the characteristics and environmental impact of municipal solid waste (MSW) and plastic waste (PW), delving into pyrolysis fundamentals, processes, and challenges. The primary emphasis is on co‐pyrolysis, elucidating its integration of municipal and plastic waste, synergistic effects, and advantages. The manuscript thoroughly analyzes reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and the feasibility of co‐pyrolysis for energy recovery. It also delves into the synthesis of renewable fuels and valuable chemical intermediates, considering optimization of product distribution. Environmental and economic sustainability aspects, including impact assessment, greenhouse gas emissions, life cycle analysis, and cost analysis of co‐pyrolysis processes, are comprehensively investigated. The review underscores the economic benefits of renewable fuel and chemical materials synthesis. The conclusion addresses challenges, proposes future directions, outlines limitations, technical challenges, environmental considerations, and recommends further exploration and integration with other waste management techniques.
