Understanding the bioeconomy: a new sustainability economy in British and European public discourse (2022)
Journal Article
Sotiropoulou, I., & Deutz, P. (2022). Understanding the bioeconomy: a new sustainability economy in British and European public discourse. Bio-based and Applied Economics, 10(4), 283-304. https://doi.org/10.36253/bae-9534Over the past decade, the term bioeconomy has emerged in both policy and academic discourse. Implying a technology-driven approach to wealth generation from organic materials, the term has taken hold with so far limited critical engagement. It is a c...

Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment, 7, Article 100123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scenv.2024.100123Value added lignin rich waste sludges from biorefinery processes are, as yet untapped valuable feedstocks that can be reformed into clean, high quality solid fuels. By water washing sludges produced from base hydrolyzed waste, a material stripped of...

Kataria (Eds.), Bioeconomy for Sustainability (319-347). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-1837-5_14This chapter explores forms of the bioeconomy that are small scale, use limited amount of resources, and are managed by very small businesses, participating in distribution networks outside the big supply chains. These economic activities not only fu... Read More about Low-key bioeconomies: The case of farmers markets in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Big problem, little answer: overcoming bed agglomeration and reactor slagging during the gasification of barley straw under continuous operation (2020)
Journal Article
Aladbrabalameer, H., Taylor, M. J., Kauppinen, J., Soini, T., Pikkarainen, T., & Skoulou, V. (2020). Big problem, little answer: overcoming bed agglomeration and reactor slagging during the gasification of barley straw under continuous operation. Sustainable Energy & Fuels, 4(7), 3764-3772. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0se00155dDefluidisation as a result of reactor bed agglomeration is a global challenge associated with the gasification of lignocellulosic biomass waste, specifically its high inorganic content. The use of conventional water leaching has been scrutanised for...
