This investment could generate approximately 70 million carbon credits annual – roughly the same number currently generated globally by all forestry and agricultural carbon projects. Biochar production that utilizes woody biomass specifically from wildfire fuel thinning projects as a feedstock can contribute financially to much-needed fuel thinning projects. Each coupled biochar and carbon credit production system has positive returns in certain scenarios. Light upgrades to existing biopower facilities have the highest returns, with internal rates of return generally between 10–30%. Mobile biochar production often had the lowest returns. However, land managers can subsidize mobile biochar production up to USD 150–300 per tonne of biochar and still save money in comparison with pile-burning low-value biomass while also generating approximately one carbon credit for every two bone-dry tonnes of low-value biomass turned to biochar. The critical barrier to industry growth is the lack of transparent biomass supply chains that enable long-term contracting for feedstock, production schedules, and investment. Moving forward, there are three potential pathways for the biochar industry to scale and utilize biomass from forest management and fuel thinning projects. Either (1) the carbon market will need to sustain high carbon prices, (2) a subsidy or other mechanism will need to decrease the cost of feedstock biomass, or (3) production will need to take advantage of economies of scale to bring down biochar prices while increasing production.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"18 5","pages":"1226-1237"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bbb.2614","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140218694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray flourescence (XRF), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;-TPD), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, and products from the catalytic tests were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). The XRF analysis determined that the Si/Al ratios for the synthesized ZSM-5 were close to the batch ratios. The XRD and FTIR results revealed that the synthesized samples had crystalline ZSM-5 zeolite structures. The small angle observed from the XRD patterns confirmed the presence of mesopores in the structure of the prepared materials. The SEM results showed that the ZSM-5 synthesized materials had different morphologies and particle sizes, as well as worm-like holes indicating that some macropores with average pore sizes ranging between 68 and 85 nm were successfully generated in these materials. NH&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;-TPD results showed that the total acidity of the prepared materials decreased with an increase in the Si/Al (SA) ratio following this trend: SA = 71 &gt; 177 &gt; 345. This may be due to the decrease in the aluminum content, which is largely responsible for the formation of acidic sites in zeolites. The acid strength was found to increase with a decrease in the Si/Al ratio, highlighted by the peak shifts to higher temperatures. From the BET results, the SA = 71 was observed to have the highest SSA of 618 m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;/g given by its micropore area of 103 m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;/g and an external surface area of 515 m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;/g. The high external surface area present in the material was due to the development of mesopores with narrow pore size distribution of approximately 6 nm indicating the success of the microemulsion method for the generation of hierarchical zeolites with well controlled pore sizes. The hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts were tested for the cracking of various hydrocarbon chain lengths. Low conversions, less than 10%, were obtained in the cracking of hexane; however, when cracking longer chain C&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt; hydrocarbons, the conversion increased remarkably to 100%. The catalyst with SA = 71 had the highest selectivity towards ethylene and propylene olefins due to its higher acidity in comparison with the other prepared catalysts. Improved activity, selectivity towards ethylene and propylene greater than 60%, and enhanced catalyst stability were demonstrated when using a hierarchical ZSM-5 compared to the commercial catalyst in the cracking of dodecane. High selectivity towards light olefins was obtained for the cracking of waste tire-derived oil.

However, this requires pretreatment of waste and byproducts and optimization of drying to obtain high-quality biofuels. Hence, this study aims to analyze the performance of currently used drying models, the influence of different drying temperatures, drying time, and seed pretreatment on the drying kinetics of two varieties of mango seed. Accordingly, whole seeds and crushed seeds were exposed to five drying temperatures (313–353 K) in a heating furnace. Weight loss was recorded systematically, converted into moisture ratio, and then fitted to four semitheoretical mathematical models, namely: (i) Lewis, (ii) Henderson and Pabis, (iii) Page, and (iv) Avhad and Marchetti models. The fitness of these models was compared using statistical parameters, such as <i>R</i>², <i>X</i>², root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE), and mean absolute error (MAE). The results showed that seed pretreatment and increasing the drying temperature led to an increase in the rate of moisture evaporation and reduced the time required for drying. Among all models, the Avhad and Marchetti model provided higher <i>R</i>² values of 0.9994 and 0.9991 for local and hybrid mango at 313 K, and 0.9977, and 0.9970 for local and hybrid crushed mango seeds at 353 K and 313 K, respectively; hence, it showed the best performance. The activation energy (Ea) showed a slight differences for both varieties of mango seed and among pretreatments in all mathematical models. The mean Ea values for local and hybrid mango seeds were 41.18 kJ mol⁻¹ and 46.21 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. For whole and crushed local and hybrid mango varieties, the mean Ea values were 31.37 kJ mol⁻¹, 40.80 kJ mol⁻¹, 50.99 kJ mol⁻¹, and 51.61 kJ mol⁻¹.

Rapeseed, maize silage, sugar beet, wheat, and grass from grassland are the most popular energy crops; they play a significant role in the German bioenergy strategy and are being discussed extensively in the current gas shortage context. Most models in the literature assume yearly temporal resolution for these energy crops, which can negatively impact the accuracy of results. This problem is increasingly relevant under weather conditions that are varying increasingly due to climate change; in this study we therefore employ the extended bioenergy optimization model (BENOPTex) to explore the impact of seasonality on the optimal deployment of biomass from energy crops in bioenergy production in the German heat, power, and transport sectors, which typically show high dependency on fossil fuels. First, we increased the model's temporal resolution using available datasets and documents. Next, the varying availability factors were embedded in the optimization model, considering the no-storage policy for energy crops in accordance with the just-in-time philosophy. Finally, the outcomes of the BENOPTex with annual resolution were contrasted with the results including the effects of seasonality, while considering various objective functions. We demonstrated a shift toward the consumption of woody biomass until 2045 due to its longer shelf life and improved storability. The energy demand stemming from summer leisure travel was also anticipated to exceed the bioenergy system's capacity.
