“…Based on the results obtained in this study, a simplified cost analysis was carried out, the results of which are presented in Table 7. The selling price of biomethane was adopted on the basis of literature data [32,33] and as well as the average prices of natural gas in Poland (excluding the transmission fees, tax, and subscription fee). The price of biohythane (the mixture of methane and hydrogen) is assumed to be 15% higher than the price of biomethane [34].…”

This study investigated the use of mineral fertilizers for the improvement of biogas production from vegetable wastes. Five fertilizers of various chemical compositions were selected, and two blends of vegetable wastes were composed for the experiments. The results demonstrated the highest improvement in biogas production using the mineral fertilizer SUBSTRAL dedicated to conifers, which was characterized by a diverse chemical composition and the lack of sulfur. The addition of this fertilizer in a dose of 1 g/kg increased methane and hydrogen yields by up to 49% compared to the control. The maximum methane production of 336 NmL/gVS was achieved after supplementation of the mixture containing corn, green peas, and green bean wastes, whereas the highest hydrogen yield of 49 NmL/gVS was reported in the experiments with the blend containing carrot, cauliflower, and broccoli. A simplified cost analysis showed that the use of 1 kg of mineral fertilizer to supplement the anaerobic digestion of vegetable waste for biogas production can generate additional revenues of up to 2399 €.

“…However, the biorefinery concept for the production of biofuel and high-value products offers promising perspectives for economically and environmentally sustainable alternatives for bioeconomy industries. Although scale factors may affect the competitiveness of microalgal biorefinery (Bose et al, 2022), it is undeniable that this integrated approach may be an attractive perspective as a source of clean technologies (de Souza et al, 2019;Rajesh Banu et al, 2020). Several biorefinery routes have been proposed so far (Amorim et al, 2021;Katiyar et al, 2021;Montalvo et al, 2019).…”

“…Several reviews have been recently published concerning microalgal biorefinery [5,6]; however, the practice is still not widely applied on a pilot scale. One of the possible reasons may be that doubts have been raised about the actual decrease in costs [7]. Furthermore, the recovery of the residual cellulosic biomass usually takes place through thermochemical processes such as pyrolysis, gasification, liquefaction, or unit operations such as fermentation or anaerobic digestion, all procedures in which the economic added value is limited.…”
