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 ...

Exploiting agricultural residues for sustainable bioconversion: production of cellulolytic and lignin‐degrading enzymes

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Agroindustrial activity generates substantial waste during harvesting and processing. This study investigated the potential use of sugarcane bagasse, corn cob husk, and wheat bran as substrates for enzyme production by Aspergillus niger and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. Aspergillus niger and C. subvermispora exhibited comparable filter paperase

Global trends and challenges in biogas purification and CO2 capture for renewable energy and climate mitigation

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biogas purification technologies facilitate the production of value‐added products such as biomethane and industrial chemicals. This review was based on the assumption that biogas purification is underrepresented in the literature despite its significant potential for clean energy and greenhouse gas mitigation, warranting a comprehensive ...
