Robust Performance of Sub‐Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion Enabled by Microbial Functional Redundancy

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
We tested whether anaerobic digesters could operate at lower temperatures without losing methane production. Pilot‐scale reactors were run at 48°C or 55°C. Methane yields and gas quality were similar. Lower temperatures reduced volatile fatty acids and supported more diverse microbial communities.

Carbon‐based materials from renewable sources: Challenges and perspectives with a focus on green coconut

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 477-493, March 2026.
Abstract This article presents a comprehensive examination of agricultural production, biomass generation, and its transformation into biochar, with a particular emphasis on green coconut waste as a primary resource. It underscores the link between agriculture and substantial biomass output, shedding light on the ecological issues associated with solid

Energy Landscape in Iraq: Current Status, Research Review, and Policy Insights

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 625-678, January 2026.
Renewable energy currently contributes a small fraction to Iraq's electricity mix, with 3.39% from hydropower and 0.059% from solar, while thermal power dominates at 96.6%. Significant untapped potential exists across solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, wave, and blue energy, highlighting opportunities for a low‐carbon, technoeconomically viable energy ...

Biomass Briquettes in Malawi

, 2007
In Malawi 2.5 % of the forest disappears each year. The use of firewood and charcoal, deriving from forest resources, accounts for about 99 % of the household energy demand in Malawi and is a cause to the deforestation. The Government of Malawi recently launched a programme called Promotion of Alternative Energy Sources Programme (PAESP) with the aim ...

Evaluating composted sewage sludge as a phosphorus fertilizer in wheat grown on soils with different properties

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Urbanization generates significant amounts of sewage sludge (SS), with relatively high concentrations of plant nutrients such as phosphorus (P). When biochemically stabilized by composting, SS (composted sewage sludge [CSW]) can serve as a sustainable P source in agriculture, supporting a circular economy and reducing agriculture's dependence ...

Integrating Building Footprints and Bioenergy Potential to Support Effective Decentralised Energy Planning: A Scalable Framework Based on Open Data

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S1, Page 1309-1325, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution workflow to assess rural bioenergy gaps by integrating building‐based energy demand and locally collectable biomass supply across Jianghan Plain, China. Building footprint, height and density were extracted from the 10 m 3D‐GloBFP dataset and aggregated to 1 km grids to approximate demand intensity. County‐

Effects of Process Variables on Physico-Mechanical Properties of Abura (Mitrogyna ciliata) Sawdust Briquettes

Biomass
Efficient utilization of biomass requires conversion into forms that can be optimally applied in energy generation. Briquetting involves the compaction of biomass into solid blocks that are more efficient than raw biomass, and provides ease of transport ...

Fluidised Bed Gasification and Chemical Exergy Analysis of Pelletised Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
The National Biomass Strategy was envisioned to foster the efficient valorisation and management of Oil Palm Waste (OPW) in Malaysia. However, the proposed Circular Energy Economy is hampered by poor OPW fuel properties, inefficient conversion techniques,

Supply Potential and Cost of Residual Forest Biomass for New Industrial Applications in Sweden

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
This work investigates the potential for logging residues (branches and tops that can be extracted during roundwood harvesting) to replace fossil‐based feedstocks and energy use in industry, using Sweden as a case study. To do so, this paper quantifies regional supply–demand balances for logging residues considering both current and possible future ...
