“…The boiler chicken industry, the process by which boiler chickens are reared and prepared for meat consumption, has become a leading sector in the Tunisian economy 46 . This is owing to population growth and the market demand 45 . Today's broiler can achieve a 5‐pound market weight in 5 weeks due to scientific progress in genetic, nutritional, and environmental research 45 .…”

Municipal solid waste management has evolved into a promising approach to climate issues and to the growing energy demand in Tunisian cities. However, energy recovery from organic waste in the Metropolis of Tunis is still complex. This is due to the city's unpredictable economy, urbanization level, and population growth rates. So far, this unpredictability has constrained access to accurate data about organic waste. This has led to slow progress in harnessing organic waste for renewable energy production. This study focuses on the conversion of the city's organic waste to biogas as a local energy supply. The potential quantity of organic waste and its theoretical energy content were estimated based on a case study in four areas in the Metropolis encompassing 12 municipalities, official records, and literature reviews. The aim of this mixed method was to enhance data quality and optimize the long‐term viability of a small‐scale biogas plant in the city. The results show that the area generates a considerable amount of organic waste (55–66%) with an annual theoretical energy content of 224.18 GWh. The yearly financial gain from the 25.5 MW biogas plant could reach 40 352 400 USD. The estimated organic waste with its considerable potential energy content represents a significant renewable energy source in the Metropolis of Tunis. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

“…Many assessments of the biomass and energy potentials of forest [4,[7][8][9][10], chicken manure [11][12][13][14][15] and overall organic residues [2,[16][17][18][19] can be found in the literature, considering different boundaries (local, regional, national or worldwide levels) and different plant scales (small, medium and large). For forest and manure biomasses, the assessment of the energy potential starts with the assessment of the biomass potential.…”

Forest Biomass - From Trees to Energy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present case study deals with new pathways in demand for forest residues disposal in the Lafões region (Portugal), since this biomass is presently regarded as a residue and eliminated through open air burning. Different biomass-to-energy conversion systems have a high sustainability value and, thus, the energy potential of the biomass supplied by the forest of Lafões was assessed, using GIS-based methods and assumptions from the literature. The Lafões region produces large amounts of chicken manure from which energy can be recovered through anaerobic digestion. The energy potential held by the effluent of the several classes of the poultry industry of Lafões was assessed, using IPCC 2006 guidelines to estimate their biomass and methane production potential. Furthermore, integrated solutions were pursued. The present challenge is to explore complementarities between effluents for anaerobic digestion to achieve improved energy and waste management system performances. The complementarity between the residues from maritime pine forest management and from broiler production was assessed through bench-scale anaerobic co-digestion assays, leading to increased methane production when compared to those achieved with single substrate anaerobic digestion. This result highlights the interest of further research concerning complementarities between other effluents in the Lafões region.

“…The problem with the use of poultry litter is from the high concentration of ammonium nitrogen, which can cause issues in the operation of a biogas plant. It can be solved using co-digestion [72], which requires new technological solutions [73][74][75][76][77]. Biogas plants have been perfected for decades, and yet the process of anaerobic digestion and biogas production from poultry litter is an important challenge from a research, economic, and environmental standpoint.…”

The agricultural sector can play an important role in the transformation of the energy economy in Poland. Special attention in this paper has been paid to the development of the agricultural biogas market in Poland. The considerations mainly concern organizational and economic aspects. Agricultural biogas plant represents the circular cycle of matter and energy. It enables the establishment of low-carbon, resource-efficient links between the agriculture and energy sectors. This is an important element of the circular economy, where waste from agricultural production and the agri-food industry, coming from renewable resources, is transformed into goods with a higher added value. The social and economic needs of the present generation and future generations are considered. The paper presented the characteristics of the Polish market, i.e., the number of entities, the number and location of plants, as well as the production volumes. Analyses were performed in the area of raw materials used to produce agricultural biogas. The analyses were carried out between 2011 and 2018. According to analyses, the potential of the agricultural biogas market in Poland is currently being used to a small extent. It is necessary not only to provide institutional support but also to increase the awareness of farmers and managers in agri-food companies of the possibility of using production waste for energy purposes.
