Combining dynamic life cycle assessment and net ecosystem exchange through the framework of biobased materials and products‐life cycle assessment (BBM‐LCA): application to polylactic acid

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biobased products can achieve carbon negativity by storing biogenic carbon in the technosphere through circular loops. Quantifying these benefits requires quantitative assessment tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA). However, the LCA of biobased materials is not straightforward due to the complexity of addressing agroecosystem carbon ...

Closing the nutrient loop between urban and rural areas: a case study analyzing the technical potential of recycling fertilizers from urban biorefineries

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The world's population is expected to grow rapidly, with the vast majority of people living in urban areas. Closing nutrient loops is therefore increasingly important for food security and environmental stability. In Germany however, the current treatment of organic and green waste and sewage sludge (derived from wastewater) includes ...

Potential of sugarcane bagasse as feedstock for biogas production in Nigeria

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The Nigerian government's interest in expanding the sugar sector has significantly increased sugarcane production, generating substantial bagasse by‐products without adequate waste management strategies. This study examined the potential of sugarcane bagasse as a biogas feedstock by integrating a socioeconomic survey of 120 sugarcane farmers ...
