“…[16][17][18] However, the selection of a suitable catalyst, which is cheap and can work for a long time, is the main challenge of this process. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] In addition, gasication occurs at high temperature (>700 °C), which requires a high source of heat and also special materials for the reactor. These lead to the high cost of operation.…”

“…The utilization of bio-based feedstocks derived from biomass can help reduce the industry's reliance on fossil fuels. Biomass, such as agricultural residues [119], and food wastes [120], can be converted into bio-based chemicals through various processes such as fermentation [121], enzymatic conversion [122], or thermochemical conversion [123].…”

Given the urgency to combat climate change and ensure environmental sustainability, this review examines the transition to net-zero emissions in chemical and process industries. It addresses the core areas of carbon emissions reduction, efficient energy use, and sustainable practices. What is new, however, is that it focuses on cutting-edge technologies such as biomass utilization, biotechnology applications, and waste management strategies that are key drivers of this transition. In particular, the study addresses the unique challenges faced by industries such as cement manufacturing and highlights the need for innovative solutions to effectively reduce their carbon footprint. In particular, the role of hydrogen as a clean fuel is at the heart of revolutionizing the chemical and process sectors, pointing the way to cleaner and greener operations. In addition, the manuscript explores the immense importance of the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the chemical industry. These initiatives provide a clear roadmap and framework for advancing sustainability, driving innovation, and reducing the industry’s environmental impact, and are a notable contribution to the existing body of knowledge. Ultimately, alignment with the European Green Deal and the SDGs can bring numerous benefits to the chemical industry, increasing its competitiveness, promoting societal well-being, and supporting cross-sector collaboration to achieve shared sustainability goals. By highlighting the novelty of integrating cutting-edge technologies, addressing unique industrial challenges, and positioning global initiatives, this report offers valuable insights to guide the chemical and process industries on their transformative path to a sustainable future.

“…Kwan et al reported LA production from 10 MT per h of food waste and estimated the 80% LA production cost to be $1.066 per kg, 31 and Li et al reported techno-economic and life cycle analyses based on the production of LA from 2000 MT LCB per day for various scenarios. 25 The conversion of various food wastes and LCB to LA has been previously reported in the literature, 32,33 but these feedstocks are generally heterogeneous in composition. An attractive feature of BW is the comparative homogeneity of the composition.…”
