Effective pretreatment of wet microalgal biomass to enhance lipid extraction in biodiesel production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesel is a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Identifying and evaluating nonedible sources is essential to address ecological concerns and meet energy demands. Microalgae are effective for lipid production but their rigid cell walls hinder bioproduct release making the process energy‐intensive and costly.

Effective acetalization of furfural catalyzed by Fe‐ and Co‐oxalates: impact of alcohols structure on products composition

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Fe‐, Co‐, and FeCo‐oxalates supported on silica gel (5 wt% metal load) were synthesized, characterized, and tested for the first time in solvent‐free furfural (FF) acetalization with C1–C8 alcohols at 70–170 °C under both conventional and microwave (MW)‐assisted conditions. The interaction of FF with linear C1–C4 alcohols yielded pincer‐shaped

Valorization of fishing industry by‐products for biodiesel production: Unlocking the potential of residual fish oil

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Fishing waste and its by‐products, whether naturally occurring or generated by the processing industry, represent a significant opportunity for producing high‐value products. These often discarded or underutilized residues can be converted into various valuable products through advanced processing technologies. Among the potential products are

Toward Carbon Accounting and Circular Harmony in Shipping Corporations: A Systematic Bibliometric Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how carbon accounting can be used to govern, not merely report, circular economy principles in shipping corporations. Grounded in institutional theory and aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda, this study introduces circular harmony as an accounting design principle: Circular interventions are embedded in a single well‐to‐wake ...

National Environmental Policies and Corporate Green Innovation: The Mirroring Versus Substitution Hypotheses

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on comparative institutional theory, we study the nature and magnitude of the effects of national environmental policies on corporate green innovation in developed versus emerging markets. Using a sample of 1831 listed firms in 34 countries from 2002 to 2020, we find that national environmental policies increase corporate green ...
