“…Moreover, a thermal pretreatment of the PWP can be an adequate method to increase the methane average concentration in the biogas obtained. Gallego L. M. et al [22] evaluated the empirical BMP through different models from some horticultural waste such as beet pulp and pear flesh; the obtained results (249 NL kg VS −1 and 318 NL kg VS −1 for beet pulp and pear flesh, respectively) were lower than the values obtained in this research. Kinetic parameters show higher R max values for SB2 and SB3 than R max for SB1.…”

The circular economy is based on using waste generated from any process to obtain products with zero residues' criteria. This research was focused on pepper waste from the polyphenolic extraction method. Pepper waste was evaluated in batch and semi-continuous regime anaerobic digestion, adding, as catalysts, absorbent nanoparticles and/or using pretreatment strategies. The best methane yields were obtained from SB1 (assay without pretreatment in pepper waste): 464 ± 25 NL kg VS−1 for batch assays; and from period II (1.47 g VS L−1 d−1) of S2 (assay of pig manure and pepper waste with thermal pretreatment): 160 NL/kg VS−1 for semi-continuous experiments. However, a kinetic study showed a methane production rate higher for SB2 (assay with nanoparticles as catalyst) than SB1 in batch assays.

“…However, the selection of the appropriate process depends on the features of each residue [18,19]. For example, the percentage of moisture determines the total solid (TS) content in the biomass [20]. Nevertheless, the efficiency of the process in thermochemical alternatives may be affected due to the presence of water in residues with high moisture content, as is discussed in different studies [21][22][23].…”

Colombia has abundant solar, wind, and biomass resources for energy production with non-conventional renewable energy (NCREs) sources. However, the current participation of NCREs is negligible in the electricity mix of the country, which has historically depended on hydroelectric plants. Meteorological phenomena, such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), threaten the energy supply during periods of drought, and the generation of energy using fossil fuels is necessary to offset the hydric deficit. Since Colombia is one of the largest coffee producers in the world, this study used system dynamics to evaluate the energy potential from cherry coffee pulp and analyze trends in the energy supply for different energy sources in scenarios of climatic vulnerability. First, the causal relationship of the system was identified, and the key variables of the model were projected. Then, the behavior of the system was evaluated by simulating a 120-month period. The results showed a generation potential from coffee pulp of 177 GWh per year and a power generation of 11,250 GWh and 7537 GWh with solar and wind resources, respectively, by 2030. Finally, it was confirmed that including new renewable resources is a key factor in supporting hydraulic generation in the warm phase of ENSO while reducing thermal generation dependence.
