Isolation and Characterization of the Physiochemical Properties of Brewer’s Spent Grain

open access: yesAgriculture
Large quantities of brewer’s spent grains are not fully utilized even as cattle feed. These feedstocks can be used to produce highly functional biomaterials, carbonaceous materials, and additives. In this investigation, four major fractions were isolated

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

Consequences of EU Biofuel Policies on Agricultural Production and Land Use [PDF]

open access: yes
This article assesses the implications of European Union (EU) biofuel policies based on a general equilibrium framework with endogenous land supply. The results show that, without policy intervention to stimulate the use of biofuel crops, the targets set

Hybridization of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis to Develop a Novel Biocatalyst via Immobilization of Lipase on Surface Modified Mesoporous Silica Towards Biodiesel Synthesis Application

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
The 3‐(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane surface functionalized SBA‐15 (MP‐SBA‐15) is used for the first time as a lipase carrier. The immobilized CAL‐B exhibits high thermal stability and superior catalytic activity. CAL‐B/SBA‐15 suggests that optimum hydrophobicity gives better catalytic activity.

Rethinking Power Solutions for Healthcare Wearables: From Point‐of‐Care and Episodic use to Continuous Monitoring and Therapeutic Platforms

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective examines practical power solutions for wearable healthcare systems, highlighting the limits of standard batteries. It categorizes wearables into four domains—point‐of‐care diagnostics, episodic monitoring, continuous long‐term monitoring, and therapeutic platforms—and analyzes their power needs.

Modelling the consequences of increasing bioenergy demand on land and feed use [PDF]

open access: yes
The aim of this paper is to show the consequences of a model extension towards the presentation of by-product in the production of biofuels. By-products can be used as a substitute for feed grain use in livestock production. A boost in biofuel production
