Abstract
The conversion of renewable biomass, particularly from food waste, into valuable energy sources via supercritical water (SCW) gasification is a promising approach for addressing environmental concerns related to sustainable energy generation, food waste, and socio-economic issues. In this sense, this review study covers the fundamental principles, process performance, and challenges of the gasification of biomass sourced from food waste by the SCW process. Additionally, it sheds light on advancements in SCW technologies (reactor design, operational conditions, catalysts utilization, etc.). The review explores the availability of food waste biomass, screens its chemical characteristics, and underscores the state-of-the-art methodologies focusing on the conversion of food waste into hydrogen-rich syngas. Thus, it outlines future research and development directions in this field, underscoring the importance of advancing SCW gasification technology for biomass valorization and waste management.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
