What will Ireland do with 63,000 tonnes of used tyres every year?  A new research project is looking at how to create a viable, valuable, eco-friendly solution in Ireland for used tyres, writes Róisín Rafferty @MaREICentre @UCC @scienceirel rte.ie/brainstorm/2024/0904/…

@MaREIcentre 's latest work on #biorefinery examines optimisation of demand-driven #Electricity & #biobutanol production via 2 technology solutions. The 2-phase CSTR produced higher #VFA yields; the leach bed EGSB had higher #biogas production Read here: doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.20…

Two-phase anaerobic digestion can produce both VFAs and biogas. VFAs such as butyric acid can be processed to butanol, a sustainable transport fuel. Biogas produced on-demand can fulfil the electrical demand of large industry at peak hours. New paper: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Distillery biorefineries can unlock decarbonisation opportunities. Our latest paper investigates whiskey production byproducts as a source of hydrogen transport fuel, biogenic CO2 for the brewing industry and VFAs for bioplastics drink packaging. Link: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Biogas is not just about energy. It is a #circulareconomy #energy & #environment system, which treats waste, reduces fugitive emissions, produces biofertiliser & food grade CO2. @MaREIcentre paper assesses how marginal abatement cost can fairly reflect such a system. @SEAI_ie
