“…Several factors, including the supplies and services, the business’s market, investment projections, benefits, competition, market conditions, revenues, financial resources, and labor, must be evaluated. This process helps establish the financial viability and return on investments of the project (Sawale et al 2020 ). There are also the payback duration, the internal rate of return, and the sensitivity analysis to consider.…”

Rice straw for energy and value-added products in China: a review

et al. 2023

The rise of global waste and the decline of fossil fuels are calling for recycling waste into energy and materials. For example, rice straw, a by-product of rice cultivation, can be converted into biogas and by-products with added value, e.g., biofertilizer, yet processing rice straw is limited by the low energy content, high ash and silica, low nitrogen, high moisture, and high-quality variability. Here, we review the recycling of rice straw with focus on the global and Chinese energy situations, conversion of rice straw into energy and gas, biogas digestate management, cogeneration, biogas upgrading, bioeconomy, and life cycle assessment. The quality of rice straw can be improved by pretreatments, such as baling, ensiling, and co-digestion of rice straw with other feedstocks. The biogas digestate can be used to fertilize soils. The average annual potential energy of collectable rice straw, with a lower heating value of 15.35 megajoule/kilogram, over the past ten years (2013–2022) could reach 2.41 × 109 megajoule.

“…Seven out of the eight variables that create the environmental pillar can be improved by biogas production, namely GHG emissions, soil quality, non-GHG air pollutants, water use and efficiency, water quality, biological variety in the environment and land use [25]. Given the enormous benefits of waste management, environmental credits and co-product value gain, government and non-government incentives, laws, policies and regulatory framework have reinvigorated the attention on biogas [26]. The study conducted in Spain on 88 sewage treatment facilities (each serves more than 50,000 equivalent users) analysed the possibility to produce a biogas for district heating networks.…”

The Role of Biogas Production in Circular Economy Approach from the Perspective of Locality

The circular economy is an economic concept opposite to the current linear system. One of its main principles is to seek to minimise waste by reusing seemingly useless raw materials. Biogas plants are places where energy can be recovered from waste. In order to boost the environmental benefits of this concept, it is important to rely on local systems (including supply chains). Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine whether biogas plants in Poland operate in a circular manner from the perspective of locality. The analysis was based on questionnaire surveys concerning the nature of the facilities’ operations, divided into biogas plants located at sewage treatment plants, biogas plants based on municipal waste and agricultural biogas plants. On the basis of the data obtained, statistical and spatial analyses were carried out to verify the installed capacity of the facilities, the distance from which they obtain their substrate and the use of the biogas produced. The results of the study confirm that the functioning of biogas plants located in Poland is, in most cases, of a local character, fitting into the objectives of a circular economy. Biogas plants that are characterised by the lowest transportation needs are biogas plants located next to sewage treatment plants.
