BECCS based on bioethanol from wood residues: Potential towards a carbon-negative transport and side-effects
(Elsevier, 2020)Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is gaining broad interest as an effective strategy to go beyond carbon neutrality. So far, most of the work on BECCS focused on power systems, while its application to the ... -
Bio-compounds production from agri-food wastes under a biorefinery approach: Exploring environmental and social sustainability
(Springer Nature, 2019)The society and industrial sectors are facing important challenges regarding the production of bioproducts influenced by social responsibility and environmental consequences. Biorefinery development reports two important ... -
Environmental assessment of complex wastewater valorisation by polyhydroxyalkanoates production
(Elsevier, 2020)Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable polymers with renewable origin that are expected to substitute conventional petrochemical plastics. However, before they are commercialized, life-cycle environmental validation ... -
Environmental assessment of viticulture waste valorisation through composting as a biofertilisation strategy for cereal and fruit crops
(Elsevier, 2020)Composting is a solid waste management alternative that avoids the emission of methane associated with its disposal in landfill and reduces or eliminates the need for chemical fertilisers if compost is applied. The main ... -
Exploring the production of bio-succinic acid from apple pomace using an environmental approach
(Elsevier, 2018-06-09)Fermentation-derived bio-succinic acid (BioSA) is a valuable intermediate; it is used as a chemical building block, and has multiple industrial applications as an alternative to petroleum counterparts. The aim of this study ... -
Pursuing the route to eco-efficiency in dairy production: The case of Galician area
(Elsevier, 2021)The search for more efficient and sustainable processes has become the cornerstone of any production system. It is within this framework that it is highly relevant to propose improvement actions based on a detailed ... -
Unraveling the environmental impacts of bioactive compounds and organic amendment from grape marc
(Elsevier, 2020)In a society that produces large amounts of solid waste, the search for new methods of valorisation has led to the development of techniques that make it possible to obtain new products from waste. In the case of bio-waste, ...
