چکیده
A few industries, such as the beverage industry, have experienced some growth in sales during COVID-19 pandemic. Globally, companies alone generate over 200 million tonnes of biomass annually, which largely ends up animal feed or landfills. With UK government’s commitment to reduce its carbon footprint by at least 68% 2030, many companies, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are exploring options emissions develop roadmaps become neutral. It has thus imperative for find value repurpose their waste. This paper unlocks potential improving fuel properties waste through a blending process explores determination optimal fractions blends via characterization. an initial moisture content 82 58 wt.% brewery spent grain (BSG) coffee grounds (SCG), respectively, pre-treatment reduced approximately 10–15 wt.%. The study concludes that improved biomass, providing competitive comparison with coal energy applications.

Aquatic plant Azolla as the universal feedstock for biofuel production
BACKGROUND The quest for sustainable production of renewable and cheap biofuels has triggered an intensive search for domestication of the next generation of bioenergy crops. Aquatic plants which can rapidly colonize wetlands are attracting attention because of their ability to grow in wastewaters and produce large amounts of biomass. Representatives of Azolla species are some of the fastest gr...
متن کاملMicroalgae as Sustainable Renewable Energy Feedstock for Biofuel Production
The world energy crisis and increased greenhouse gas emissions have driven the search for alternative and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. According to life cycle analysis, microalgae biofuel is identified as one of the major renewable energy sources for sustainable development, with potential to replace the fossil-based fuels. Microalgae biofuel was devoid of the major drawba...
متن کاملDeacidification of Pistacia chinensis Oil as a Promising Non-Edible Feedstock for Biodiesel Production in China
Pistacia chinensis seed oil is proposed as a promising non-edible feedstock for biodiesel production. Different extraction methods were tested and compared to obtain crude oil from the seed of Pistacia chinensis, along with various deacidification measures of refined oil. The biodiesel was produced through catalysis of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). The results showed th...
