Biorefining Sewage for Energy and Green Chemicals
Anaerobic digestion (AD) has become a well-established method for the treatment of organic wastes, such as sewage sludge, whilst recovering valuable products in the process. Typically, AD produces biogas in the form of carbon dioxide and methane but environmental concerns surrounding fugitive …

Fodder legumes for Green Biorefineries
… the most efficient and sustainable way possible. Biorefining is a concept that represents both resource efficiency and sustainability. This approach initiates a cascade use, which means food and feed production before material use, and an energy-related use at the end of the value-added chain. …
