Economic balance and investment profitabilty of the case-study agricultural biogas plant (0.499 MW) in Poland

Economics and Environment
The economic balance of agricultural biogas plants (ABPs) depends on several key factors, including feedstock availability, investment and operational costs, energy market conditions, and government support mechanisms. Despite numerous review papers and

Opportunities for Australia Amid China's Carbon‐Neutral Transition: Input–Output Approach With Analysis of Australian Renewable Potential

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A major transformation in China's energy mix is underway as the country pursues carbon neutrality by 2060, posing significant structural challenges for Australia as a major exporter of carbon‐intensive resources. This study examines the economic impacts of China's decarbonisation on Australia by applying static and dynamic input–output (IO ...

The Potential of Lignocellulosic Biomass from Horticultural Production for Sustainable Energy Production

Agronomy
Agricultural production residues are an easily accessible raw material for energy recovery in a circular economy. Therefore, the possibility of biogas production from herb processing waste, namely common thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), peppermint (Mentha ...

Towards Green Transition: Role of Environmental Policy Stringency for Energy Transition in Realizing SDGs 7 and 13

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental sustainability has remained the main goal of the policy agenda in G7 economies, where the current priority of energy policy reforms is to minimize reliance on fossil fuels, which have significant environmental impacts, and to transition to cleaner energy sources.

Equity‐Calibrated Technology Forecasting for Sustainable Development: A Portable ADOPT Framework Integrating Bayesian‐Ising Diagnostics

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted to enhance resilience and productivity among smallholder farmers, yet its diffusion remains uneven due to structural barriers and heterogeneous adoption contexts. Existing forecasting tools, such as the Adoption and Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool (ADOPT), estimate adoption trajectories but ...

Simulation, optimization and instrumentation of agricultural biogas plants

, 2013
During the last two decades, the production of renewable energy by anaerobic digestion (AD) in biogas plants has become increasingly popular due to its applicability to a great variety of organic material from energy crops and animal waste to the organic fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), and to the relative simplicity of AD plant designs.

Advancements and Challenges in Second‐ and Third‐Generation Biofuels: A Comparative Analysis of Lignocellulosic and Algal Feedstocks

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced biofuels derived from nonfood biomass are increasingly recognized as strategic components of low‐carbon energy systems, particularly for sectors where direct electrification remains difficult. Second‐generation biofuels from lignocellulosic residues and third‐generation biofuels from algal and aquatic biomass offer complementary ...

Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

Efficiency, Shadow Pricing and Regime Switching in Multi‐Ware Technologies: Evidence From Regulated Livestock Farms

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a framework for regulated production systems where output generation and pollution abatement impose competing technological demands. Using a multi‐ware technology, we model the production set as the intersection of two input requirement frontiers, one for production and one for abatement, each reflecting distinct trade‐offs.

Disciplining the “Queen of the World”? Responsible Innovation as a Way of Life

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper offers a critical reflection on the concept of responsible innovation as defined during the last decades. We argue that the emphasis on innovation as a process risks neglecting the very goals of innovation, namely societal desirability and acceptability. Thus, we suggest reconsidering the role of imagination, the “Queen of the world”
