Pine bio‐oil based biorefinery procedure for the production of antioxidants, acids, and sugars

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, a wood‐based biorefinery with Pinus halepensis biomass was developed to obtain acids, sugars, and antioxidants with high recovery yields. Pine wood residues from sustainable forest management are transformed into bio‐oil (BO) and separated into value‐added chemicals with an integrated and innovative methodology.

A New Aerosol‐Based Photobioreactor for the Cultivation of Cyanobacteria on Luffa

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria are promising organisms for sustainable biotechnology due to their ability to grow photoautotrophically and their wide range of products. Many cyanobacteria grow in the form of biofilms, which is why the development of photobioreactors (PBR) for the cultivation of cyanobacteria in the form of biofilms is of great interest ...

Corporate Climate Risk and Membership of Emission Trading Schemes

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a sample of 5364 firms from 65 countries, we demonstrate that membership in the scheme increases firm climate risk. Further analysis reveals that the positive impact of membership on climate risk is pronounced among firms in carbon‐intensive industries. Our findings demonstrate that continental differences and legal origin could moderate
