“…Additionally, the energy required to regulate digester temperature varies significantly based on geographic location and season. Farm‐based AD systems can be profitable through full energy utilization, gate fees for solid waste acceptance, income from coproducts like compost/organic fertilizer, and potentially selling carbon credits from GHGe offsets [121]. Operating at peak capacity presents a consistent challenge for AD systems, and the logistical aspects of handling feedstocks and products play a crucial role in their economic and environmental viability.…”

Exploring alternative energy sources is vital amid increasing human fuel consumption. Globally, biogas, rich in methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide, addresses energy demands through biomass anaerobic digestion (AD). Efficient digestate management, employing techniques like solid‐liquid separation and composting, is crucial for environmental protection. The goal is to optimize nutrient‐rich byproduct utilization while minimizing negative impacts. This review analyzes diverse substrates, emphasizing challenges and benefits. Key considerations include nutrient ratios, moisture content, co‐digestion, organic loading rate, and retention time. The study explores temperature's impact on microbial growth, biogas impurities, and upgradation techniques, including biological methods. Fermentation, microbial electrochemical techniques, and biochar use for enhanced AD are introduced. Discussing digestate's multifaceted aspects, the review highlights its nutrient value and diverse applications in aquaculture, animal feed, fermentation, bioremediation, and fine chemical production.

“…1 Among various renewable options, biomass has attracted much attention due to its salient advantages such as carbon neutrality and abundant availability. 2,3 Lignocellulosic and algal biomass are two distinct biomass types: lignocellulosic biomass is mainly made up of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin whereas the algal biomass is mainly composed of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. [4][5][6] Pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical conversion technology that can convert biomass feedstocks into bio-oil, biochar, biogas, and other products.…”

In this work, the pyrolysis of barley straw (BS) and brown algae (BA) mixed with NaOH as a catalyst was compared. Four different catalyst‐to‐biomass mass ratios (i.e., 6:100, 8:100, 10:100, and 12:100) and five pyrolysis heating rates were examined. The kinetic parameters (e.g., the activation energy and pre‐exponential factor) were evaluated using the Friedman method and kinetic models. For noncatalytic pyrolysis, the average activation energies for BS and BA samples were 139.71 and 183.19 kJ mol−1, respectively. However, the addition of catalyst generally increased the average activation energy of BS samples but decreased that of BA samples. The enthalpy change and Gibbs free energy change revealed that both catalytic and noncatalytic pyrolysis processes were nonspontaneous and endothermic, and the inclusion of catalyst increased the average entropy change of the BS samples but decreased that of the BA samples. Char and biochar yields after pyrolysis were also analyzed quantitatively. These observations provide insight into the differences in catalytic pyrolysis between lignocellulosic and algal biomass species.

“…As an example, the utilization of forest biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels in Australia results in a yearly reduction of around 25 million tons of atmospheric CO2 emissions (Raihan et al, 2021a). Additionally, according to the contribution played a significant role in the removal of forest wastes and the attainment of ecological-zero CO2 emissions statistical data from the European Union (EU), there is a discernible upward trajectory in the potential of forest waste to meet human energy demands between 2010 and 2030 (Singh et al, 2022). Table 1 displays the statistical data provided by the EU about energy production derived from various forms of forest biomass in the year 2010, together with projected estimations for the year 2030.…”

The use of biomass is vital in reducing the negative effects of rising fossil fuel consumption. Given its quantity and diversity, forest biomass has garnered a lot of interest among the many kinds of biomass. This study evaluates the various strategies for transforming woody waste into usable biofuels. Carbon dioxide emissions from traditional energy generation systems could be mitigated through the direct utilization of forest biomass. Low energy conversion rates, as well as soot emissions and residues, are some of the problems that come up when directly using forest biomass. The sustainability of direct energy generation from forest biomass is also seriously threatened by the lack of constant access to biomass. Co-combustion with coal and pelletizing biomass is two solutions proposed for this issue. Co-combustion of forest biomass with coal has the potential to lower the process's emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfides. This article reviews and discusses the biochemical and thermochemical mechanisms that can transform forest biomass into a variety of liquid and gaseous biofuels. Future research using cutting-edge sustainability assessment tools like life cycle assessment, exergy, etc. should investigate the sustainability of forest biomass conversion processes to bioenergy further.
