摘要

Biomass upgrade technologies are evolving and improving to facilitate the transition from fossil-based to sustainable green and circular economies. Although these technologies have biorefinery, renewable energy, and climate change mitigation benefits, their applications, especially for biomass upgrades offer wide-ranging high-value products and end-use versatility. Therefore, understanding their comparative advantages over other renewable and non-renewable technologies is critical to their acceptance and prioritization in the rapid attainment of low emissions, global carbon reduction, and industrial circularization. Their renewability, benign nature, scalability, low cost, reusable side-stream wastes, and compatibility of these technologies to different biomass conversion systems, including other technologies made preferred choices over fossil and other renewable technologies. Their economic benefits, stability, and ecosystem stabilizing effects are unrivaled despite the influence of feedstock characteristics and climate variables on their performance efficiencies. are influenced by feedstock factors and climate variables. This affirms that careful selection of the technologies or their combinations in biomass conversion is necessary to optimize technological efficiency, waste minimization, conversion efficiency, and product quality. Policy support framework, infrastructure, storage facilities, impact on soil health, and feedstock restriction to agricultural active regions are some challenges and trade-offs limiting the widespread applications of biomass-upgrade technologies compared to fossil and other renewable technologies. Therefore, advancing biomass upgrade technologies with artificial intelligence, microbial biomass, feedstock densification, investments in green research, and supportive policies may offer promising opportunities that could be leveraged to increase benefits to humanity. Hence this study provides basic comparative insights that could facilitate the acceptance, continuing advancement, and prioritization of biomass upgrade technologies to solve multiple global challenges.
