Biogas from Solid, Food, and Agricultural Wastes - Industrial Bioprocessing TOE

This Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features innovations in producing biogas from solid, food, and agricultural wastes. The increased attention in anaerobic digestion technologies using wastes is driven by the need to divert waste from landfills to stem climate change and address sustainability issues, while leveraging on the biogas to address fossil fuel depletion. The use of waste also addresses the negative impact of using crop-based biofuels. This Alert edition features innovations that enable the use of renewable electricity on a national grid, high-solids anaerobic digestion, oil palm waste management and integrated organic waste infrastructure for a diverse range of source-separated organic wastes.

The Industrial Bioprocessing TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) provides intelligence on technologies, processes and strategic insights of industries involving bioprocessing, including innovations in the development and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alternative fuels, chemical feedstocks, food and beverages, and consumer products.

The Sustainable Energy cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
