Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of a circular economy in the agro-industry is finally gaining a significant amount of attention. It is, therefore, crucial to evaluate the potential valorization options for agricultural biomass. In that sense, the biorefinery approach has been proposed and applied as the roadway to increase profit for the agricultural sector and, at the same time, ensure environmental sustainability. The biorefinery approach integrates biomass conversion processes to produce fuels, power, and chemicals from biomass.
This Special Issue on the “Use of Agro-Industrial Byproducts and Waste Treatment” aims to present a collection of high-quality research studies addressing challenges in the broad area of integral biomass conversions from agroindustry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Valuable compound extraction;
- Anaerobic conversion;
- Composting;
- Life cycle Assessment;
- Technoeconomic analysis;
- Modeling
