“…With the depletion of resources and greenhouse gas pollution caused by the consumption of oil and energy in the world development process, the development of renewable and clean energy sources, such as wind energy, [ 1 ] light energy, [ 2 ] nuclear energy, [ 3 ] and bioenergy, [ 4 ] has objectively promoted the development of new green energy sources, which are gradually coming into view. Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have become the most commonly used energy storage devices due to their high energy density, [ 5 ] long cycle life, [ 6 ] and no memory effect.…”

Rechargeable lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) are today's best performing and most promising energy storage devices. Silicon‐based anode materials with ultrahigh specific capacity are expected to help LIBs play a more significant role in practical applications. However, the irreversible volume expansion of silicon during charge and discharge, which makes the material devastatingly shattered, and the unstable solid electrolyte intermediate film have greatly affected the LIB cycle stability and slowed the commercialization of silicon‐based anode LIBs. In recent years, various approaches have been tried to reduce the adverse effects of bulk effects, and nanosizing is a widely recognized and practical approach. Still, it has also reached a bottleneck in development. This work provides a comprehensive review of the recent progress in improving the electrochemical performance of silicon‐based anode LIBs. The development of mainstream silicon‐based compounds is described, the role of various structural control means for the improvement of silicon‐based anodes is elaborated, as well as other optimization schemes, and a view on the future development of silicon‐based anodes is presented.

Between 2018 and 2020, an average of 15 TWh of energy peat was consumed in Finland. Energy peat is used in 260 boilers in Finland, which produce district heat and heat and steam for industry, as well as electricity as cogeneration (CHP) in connection with district heating and industrial heat production. Peat accounts for 3% -5% of the energy sources used in Finland, but its importance has been greater in terms of security of supply. With current use in accordance with the 2018-2020 average, the emissions from peat are almost 6 Mt CO 2 per year in Finland, which is 15% of emissions from the energy sector. In this study, the technical limitations related to peat burning, economic limitations related to the availability of biomass, and socio-economic limitations related to the regional economy are reviewed. By 2040, the technical minimum use of peat will fall to 2 TWh. The techno-economical potential may be even lower, but due to socio-economic objectives, peat production will not be completely ceased. The reduction in the minimum share assumes that old peat boilers are replaced with new biomass boilers or are alternatively replaced by other forms of heat production. Based on the biomass reserves, the current use of peat can be completely replaced by forest chips, but regional challenges may occur along the coast and in southern Finland. It is unlikely that the current demand for all peat will be fully replaced by biomass when part of CHP production is replaced by heat production alone and combustion with waste heat sources.

“…Biomass has been profiled as a potential source of a portfolio of value-added products and energy vectors with applications in different industrial sectors. This raw material has been defined as the starting point to perform the energy transition from fossil fuels (i.e., oil, coal, natural gas) to renewable energy sources (Schipfer et al, 2022). Moreover, biomass also has been identified as a key player in the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations.…”

Biomass has been profiled as a potential source of a portfolio of value-added products and energy vectors with applications in different industrial sectors. The Territory of the Southern Coast of Bahia (TSC) in Brazil has a high potential to provide agricultural and forest biomass to small and medium-scale biorefineries. The Territory of the Southern Coast of Bahia (TSC) in Brazil has a high potential to provide agricultural and forest biomass for these bioindustries. This work aims to quantify the biomass of the main agricultural crops of the TSC over the period of 1999 to 2019. For this purpose, the biomass classification in the Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM) of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) was used, according to its applications in pharmaceutical industries and other industries using the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm. Moreover, the identification of the main forest species of the Atlantic Forest that can supply bio-based products was included. Thus, a time series analysis was performed. Biomass classification was performed with the inverted tree using the Gini Index. The results indicate that banana production (1.3 Mt) exceeded, over a period of 20 years, cocoa production (1.1 Mt). This occurs despite the higher occupying area of cocoa (5.8 million hectares) compared with that of bananas. Coffee biomass has been profiled as a raw material to be upgraded in various industries, while bananas are oriented toward supplying inputs for the pharmaceutical industry. Forest species also have the potential to be used in the pharmaceutical industry. In conclusion, small and medium-scale biorefineries can help to increase the use of agricultural and forest biomass as a way of providing inputs for several industries and guaranteeing positive social impacts for the population.
