Magnetic lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) biocatalyst for integrated valorization of tilapia by‐products and biodiesel biorefining

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The immobilization of lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) on an amino‐epoxy functionalized magnetic support (Fe3O4‐PEI‐DGEBA) resulted in a highly stable and efficient biocatalyst for biofuel production from tilapia oil. The synthesized support was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray ...

Digital innovation for a greener future: the role of artificial intelligence in Europe's biofuel transition

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) development and biofuel production using a balanced panel dataset of 12 European Union (EU) countries over the 2008–2024 period. Employing feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation with distributed lag specifications, the analysis controls for Renewable ...

Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...
