“…Kemppainen et al [187] have used fiber and sludge waste recovered from the paper productive process; these lignocellulosic materials showed conversion of 75% of reducing sugar and fermentative yield of 84%. In this scenario, 1 t of dry lignocellulosic materials can produce 170 kg of ethanol, 310 kg of biogas, 360 kg of residual sludge and 170 kg of CO 2 [187].…”

“…suggested that using the residues resulting from the fermentation of Kraft pulp hydrolysate for biogas production by AD is a potential environmentally friendly utilization of those residues [106]. Kemppainen et al (2012) studied the production of ethanol from paper sludge, followed by the production of biogas from the evaporated residue that is obtained after fermentation [196].…”

Second Generation Bioethanol Production: On the Use of Pulp and Paper Industry Wastes as Feedstock

Due to the health and environment impacts of fossil fuels utilization, biofuels have been investigated as a potential alternative renewable source of energy. Bioethanol is currently the most produced biofuel, mainly of first generation, resulting in food-fuel competition. Second generation bioethanol is produced from lignocellulosic biomass, but a costly and difficult pretreatment is required. The pulp and paper industry has the biggest income of biomass for non-food-chain production, and, simultaneously generates a high amount of residues. According to the circular economy model, these residues, rich in monosaccharides, or even in polysaccharides besides lignin, can be utilized as a proper feedstock for second generation bioethanol production. Biorefineries can be integrated in the existing pulp and paper industrial plants by exploiting the high level of technology and also the infrastructures and logistics that are required to fractionate and handle woody biomass. This would contribute to the diversification of products and the increase of profitability of pulp and paper industry with additional environmental benefits. This work reviews the literature supporting the feasibility of producing ethanol from Kraft pulp, spent sulfite liquor, and pulp and paper sludge, presenting and discussing the practical attempt of biorefineries implementation in pulp and paper mills for bioethanol production.

“…In particular, the ability to use digestate from AD as a source for microalgae growth, and subsequent harvesting of high value algal lipids, poses a unique development possibility (Kouhia et al, 2015;Polishchuk et al, 2015). In several instances, the forest-based biorefinery literature also highlights that the presence of an AD system opens new opportunities for expanding waste sources and streams for co-digestion (Chinnaraj et al, 2011;Kemppainen et al, 2012). In regards to biorefinery expansion, anaerobic digestion's ability to stabilise sludge is also discussed as an opportunity for further sludge-based refining, and more generally as a method for diversification of P&P mills.…”

Biorefineries strive to maximise product mix and value while contributing to the bioeconomy. Circularity and waste valorisation are some important but often neglected concepts in this context. As such, biogas solutions in biorefineries could be a key technology to improve sustainability. This study has, through a literature review and investigation into three Swedish case studies, analysed this relationship between biogas solutions and biorefineries by assessing the added value and development potential to which biogas solutions may contribute. This analysis across agricultural, forest, and marine sectors indicates that biogas solutions contribute with several added values, including through making the biorefinery more sustainable and competitive. The study also shows that biogas solutions can be an enabler of biorefinery development through making the system more resilient and versatile, as well as through improving the value of the product portfolio.
