Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The price of pure cellulase enzyme for the recovery of fermentable cellulosic sugars is one of the major challenges that limit the commercialization of second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products. This work shows a means to greatly reduce the cost of cellulases. The abundant capacity of plants to synthesize and hyperaccumulate transgenic

Revisiting the Carbon Footprint of Single‐Use Technologies in Biomanufacturing: A Bottom‐Up Analysis Reveals a Paradigm Shift

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The biopharmaceutical industry increasingly relies on single‐use technologies (SUT) for operational flexibility. For a long time, SUT was considered more sustainable than stainless‐steel (SST) systems due to water and energy savings. This study re‐evaluates this paradigm via a detailed bottom‐up analysis of the SUT carbon footprint at the 2000

Shifting burdens: how delayed decarbonisation of road transport affects other sectoral emission reductions

Environmental Research Letters
In 2022, fuel combustion in road transport accounted for approximately 21% (760 million tonnes) of CO _2 emissions in the European Union (EU). Transport is the only sector with rising emissions, with an increase of 24% compared to 1990.

Digital Transformation and Informal Innovation in Africa: Reframing STI Policy for Inclusive Circular Economy Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid increasing environmental and economic pressures, Africa's transition to a circular economy (CE) presents a vital pathway to inclusive, low‐carbon development. Yet, how digital transformation, informal innovation, and science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy readiness shape CE outcomes remains underexplored.

Environmental Regulation at the Crossroads: A Review of Catalysts and Barriers in Circular Economy Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid growing resource pressures, environmental regulation plays a critical role in enabling the transition to a circular economy (CE). This study conducts a systematic literature review to synthesize how different regulatory approaches—command‐and‐control, market‐based, voluntary, and reflexive—affect CE transitions across economic and ...
