Lignocellulosic bioethanol is a promising renewable energy source that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve security. However, its commercialization faces significant economic environmental challenges, including high feedstock costs, complex pretreatment processes, expensive enzyme formulations, substantial water requirements. This review examines the key factors affecting viability, efficiency, co-product generation, emissions, use, land use impacts. Recent advancements in...
Waste management in most parts of Africa is characterized by the disposal mixed waste unengineered landfills. The aim this study to assess environmental impact received at a waste-to-energy plant Ghana relative current model landfilling. A Life Cycle Assessment was conducted using OpenLCA software version 2.3.1 based on ReCiPe Midpoint method. For landfilling, LandGEM 3.03 used. results indicate that has potential provide carbon savings 3.52 tCO2eq/ton treated compared Pyrolysis observed...
